Abstract: Abstract Social sector organizations are a central stakeholder in international development cooperation and this chapter will explore how their role influencing policy makers and representing communities is currently changing. Nowhere are these changes in civil society more prominent than in the world’s emerging powers, characterized by rapid economic growth and rising inequality. This chapter will consider the changes in development assistance for civil society in emerging powers and how civil society is adapting to operate and influence governments. This research looks at the enabling environment for civil society in emerging powers and considers how shifting power dynamics, both within a country and between international actors, have left civil society trying to respond to rapidly changing political situation.
