"Viele international agierende Nichtregierungs-Organisationen (NG0s) sehen sich einem Legitimationsdefizit gegenüber. Die Distanz zu den von ihrem Handeln betroffenen Personen wird zunehmend größer. Der Beitrag untersucht verschiedene Ansätze zur Lösung dieses Problems, wobei die Diskurstheorie des Rechts nach Jürgen Habermas als Leitfaden dient. Anhand dieser werden auch die derzeit entstehenden Codes of Conduct von NGOs als mögliche Lösung des Legitimationsdefizits diskutiert." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"Many internationally active nongovernmental organizations face a legitimacy deficit as the distance to those concerned by their actions is growing. This article examines different approaches to solve this problem. The discourse theory of rights by Juergen Habermas serves as a red thread and discussion basis. It is according to the same theory that the suitability of the currently developing Codes of Conduct of Nongovernmental Organizations as a solution to the problem is discussed. It is made clear that in spite of the Codes of Conducts great potential to provide legitimacy to Nongovernmental Organizations there are several shortcomings to be addressed."
