How does international financial aid affect the cooperative behavior of local non-governmental organizations (NGOs)? Can NGOs, while turning global, preserve peer connections with local actors and be engaged in local issues? The civil society literature contains competing perspectives on and reports of how international financial aid may restructure local civic networks. Some scholars argue that international support comes at the expense of local integration as inclusion in global networks takes local NGOs out of the local context, while others find evidence that organizations do not have to face “a forced choice”, and may well be integrated both globally and locally. Drawing on this scholarship, we examine two hypotheses on how transnational funding influences cooperation patterns among NGOs. The hierarchy argument states that public entities tend to cooperate with internationally funded NGOs as external contact signals quality and trustworthiness. The segregation argument, on the contrary, suggests financial homophily according to which organizations are more likely to choose peers similar in sources of funding. To test these hypotheses, we apply Exponential Random Graph Models to the data on cooperation among 221 Kazakhstani NGOs. Results support the segregation hypothesis implying that NGOs are likely to have a bias towards similarly funded peers.

国际金融援助如何影响地方非政府组织的合作行为？非政府组织在走向全球的同时，能否保持与当地参与者的同伴联系并参与当地问题？民间社会文献包含有关国际金融援助如何重组当地公民网络的相互竞争的观点和报告。一些学者认为，国际支持是以牺牲当地一体化为代价的，因为将其纳入全球网络会使当地非政府组织脱离当地背景，而另一些学者则发现有证据表明组织不必面对“强制选择”，并且很可能将两者融合在一起。全球和本地。利用这项奖学金，我们研究了两个关于跨国资助如何影响非政府组织之间合作模式的假说。等级论据指出，公共实体倾向于与国际资助的非政府组织合作，因为外部联系表明了质量和可信赖性。相反，隔离论证表明财务上是同质的，根据这种差异，组织更可能选择资金来源相似的同业。为了检验这些假设，我们将指数随机图模型应用于221个哈萨克斯坦非政府组织之间的合作数据。结果支持种族隔离假说，这暗示着非政府组织可能偏向资金相似的同龄人。为了检验这些假设，我们将指数随机图模型应用于221个哈萨克斯坦非政府组织之间的合作数据。结果支持隔离假说，该假说暗示非政府组织可能偏向资金相似的同龄人。为了检验这些假设，我们将指数随机图模型应用于221个哈萨克斯坦非政府组织之间的合作数据。结果支持隔离假说，该假说暗示非政府组织可能偏向资金相似的同龄人。
