Jonas Wolff and Annika E. Poppe analyze the political controversy over this phenomenon of \u201cclosing space\u201d. In looking at the global debate in the UN Human Rights Council and at four cases (Ethiopia, India, Egypt, and Bolivia), they assess the normative claims brought forward in order to either justify or reject restrictions on external civil society support. The authors show that governments in the Global South have good reasons to be concerned about the foreign funding of domestic civil society groups and argue that a promising response to the spread of closing spaces cannot but include a serious engagement with these concerns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HSFK Report 137\/2015, Frankfurt: Hessische Stiftung Friedens- und Konfliktforschung (HSFK).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publication"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>From Closing Space to Contested Spaces.
