Abstract EN

This study deals with an important topic, related to the role of civil society organizations on the international level.

The topic is charity work and its role in forming international relations.

Currently, we witness a change in the shape of relations between countries ; especially with the international technological revolution and the globalization of economic, political and cultural relations that accompanied it.

This study takes into account the emergence of new factors affecting the international relations, which may at times surpass the role of the state itself.

Therefore, the study represents a new perspective to understand the role played by charity work (as a third sector field) in international relations.

The main idea raised in the study centers around the effects of charity work on international relations, starting from its appearance as an international phenomenon, the conditions of its spread on the international level in the meantime, and its role in establishing and enhancing international peace and security.

In addition, the study deals with the challenges faced by charity work on the international level.

The most important of which are : being affected negatively by the international crises, which limited the financial resources of charity organizations, and the internationalization of terrorism and the suspicions it aroused in relation to these organizations.

Furthermore, the study discusses the fields of charity work and its impact on international relations, such as its role in stressing diplomacy and resolving international disputes.

The theoretical framework of the study is fulfilled by a case study of a practical model, which analyzes the role of Jordan Hashemite Charity Organization (JHCO) in providing assistance and relief to catastrophe-stricken countries.
