Abstract
The impact of international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs) on developmental progress is complex and much research has been devoted to examining the role of INGOs in society. The world polity theory explains the effect of INGOs on society and establishes the theoretical framework for the world polity network which is an amalgamation of INGOs, IGOs, states, and societies. This research utilizes the conflict model of the world polity perspective which emphasizes the inequality within the world polity network to explain the relationship between INGOs and development in a sample of developing and developed countries. After accounting for the inequality among countries within the world polity network, the positive effect of INGOs on development does not remain. The results from this research indicate the necessity of more research that analyzes the effect of the inequality within the world polity network on the ability of INGOs to encourage development.
