With the growth of civil society in the Middle East, scholarly attention has focused on the increased integration between transnational networks, local and national non-governmental organizations, and social movements. The association between this integration and localized civil conflict needs further investigation. A key factor in the growth of transnational and more localized networks has been the rise of global mass communications since the early 1990s. Traditionally, the Middle East was characterized by state-owned or controlled mass media. The rise of new regional, global and alternative forms of media transformed this prevalence. Increased mobility of populations also generated exposure to new content and fostered awareness of new ways of organizing politically. Both the media and mobility, as well as other forces, have influenced the rapid growth of civic and social movement groups and their ties to similar groups in the region and globally. By the end of the 1990s, the number and size of NGOs and INGOs had exploded, creating greater integration into regional and transnational networks. According to Keck and Sikkink’s (1999) “boomerang” thesis, the growth of NGOs and INGOs created new opportunities for localized groups to appeal to an international audience to pressure Middle East states for reforms. By appealing to more powerful INGO and intergovernmental organization (IGO) allies, local women’s groups, minority and human rights campaigners and democracy activists attempt to enlist these groups as allies and draw on them for resources and ideas. In this paper, we analyze the size and interconnectivity of women’s rights advocacy networks in Egypt. Using the campaign to end street harassment in Egypt as a case study, we examine the connections between local NGOs, quasi-state national institutions and international NGOs to assess: 1) the effectiveness of networking in the campaign and, 2) more broadly, the association between civil conflict and integration of local and national women’s rights organizations into transnational networks. We utilized data from several sources: field work from November 2006 through July 2008 with the local women’s rights organization that has taken the lead in this campaign, the Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights (ECWR); the Yearbook of International Organizations; newswire reports covering women’s rights groups from the 1990s to the present; women’s rights NGO literature; and the World Handbook of Political Indicators IV. This research will provide insights into how transnational processes are associated with civil conflict in the Middle East.
