• • 1. 1. Similarities, Differences, and Analysis of Nongovernment and Government Provisions in Australia

          After the era, many countries changed into nations and states with obvious demarcated boundaries. In Australia, for instance, after gaining independence on 26th January 1788, the states have been modernized by external and internal factors. For this reason, many types of organizations, for example, non-governmental organizations and intergovernmental organizations have thus been created, to address the challenges that may have occurred due to a change in the nation-states.

          According to Milligan et al. (2015), Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have a general similarity. One of the key similarities is that both NGOs and IGOs depend on the financial support provided by the state, specifically superpowers. It is the state which determines the functions and fate of IGOs. For instance, the United Nations can only be operational if states raise finance in support of the organization’s activities. For this reason, without support from the state, IGOs can never be sufficient.

          However, despite the similarity above, many notable differences exist among IGOS and NGOs. The first significant difference between the two organizations relies on their formers. The state forms the IGOs. On the other side, NGOs are generally private, chosen organizations whose members consist of folks or groupings of people. NGOs get usually formed to solve specific issues; for instance, Action Aid Australia is a non-profit organization which got formed to champion against poverty and injustice worldwide. 

          The subsequent difference is legitimacy. Being that the state establishes IGOs, they are always lawful. IGOs can only get formed if only they conform to and get recognition from worldwide laws and other states. On the other hand, some NGOs are illegal organizations. This is because NGOs can get formed by people who find something in common. For instance, terrorism organizations which include Al Qaeda and ISIS are illegal NGOs (Reilly et al. 2018).
