Social science scholars have studied different aspects of the grassroots field. Thus far no thorough studies exist nor have been conducted to consider the reasons behind such activities towards NGO development in recent decades. Some studies have shown primarily NGOs’ attitudes on informative revolution, middle class growth or democracy repair. In order to fill in the information gap, the writer of this article will discuss the role of four crises concerning NGOs and the creation of voluntary activities. For this reason, the article will study the two crises concerning development and the welfare state and their effects on NGOs’ appearance. Then, the article will continue to discuss the former Eastern block collapse and the consequences affecting the position of NGO groups. Finally, the article will review humane reactions toward the environment’s ever-increasing destruction. The author will argue that these aforementioned crises are major factors affecting NGOs’ expansion and efficacy.
