Abstract
This study examines values, ethics, and principles of conduct that underlie activities
of global civil society organizations. It uses an international web-based survey, and a content
analysis of the codes of conduct for exploring views of global civil society actors active on global
issues and participating in global civil society events. The findings of this analysis highlight many
similarities in the ways global civil society organizations of different forms and origins define
their goals, values, ethical standards, and responsibilities. The normative consensus discerned in
this research is limited in scope, however. It revolves around a particular, liberal, view of civil
society. The study discusses results of the survey and content analyses in light of the current
debates on the nature of global civil society and its relation to the system of states and the global
market.
