This paper summarizes the results of a mailed
survey of transnational human rights organizations. The survey
was sent to nearly 300 organizations, of which more than half
responded. The paper reports on the geographic distributions
of human rights organizations, their political activities,
work with international agencies, organizational structures
and resources, links with local NGOs, and their definitions
of human rights goals. The study is part of a larger project
to better understand how transnational NGOs influence global
political and social change.

assistant professor of sociology at Mt. St. Mary's College,
