As social interactions between individuals and organizations increasingly flow across national borders in a process commonly referred to as globalization, questions remain about the influence of transnational actors, predominantly from the wealthier global North, on domestic actors in developing nations of the global South. World society theory and transnational social movement perspectives argue that the relationship among these actors is growing and is beneficial, with global level actors diffusing legitimated, universal norms, fostering the emergence of civil society in developing countries, and supporting domestic social movements that face resistant states. Others take a more critical perspective seeing transnational actors' power as coercive and suppressing systemic change. In order to explore these types of relationships I interviewed a national sample of 70 Kenyan environmental NGOs (KENGOs). I analyze transnational influence on policy script adoption, the emergence of organizations, and the tactics utilized by KENGOs. Beyond membership in specifically defined international NGOs, funding forms a significant connection between transnational and domestic actors, and funding from particular transnational actors aligns with particular climate change policy script preferences. Additionally, transnational actors help foster the formation of domestic civil society, especially in less democratic regimes. However their support, through funding, is not enough to spur significant growth in the number of organizations--greater political openness is required. Lastly, transnational actors' influence through funding serves as a benign influence on KENGOs' use of disruptive protest, neither discouraging it nor enabling it. Overall, measuring the influence of transnational actors requires greater specificity. This research finds that both the types of actors and the pathways to connection result in different outcomes. Funding, not just membership, connects domestic actors to transnational forces in influential ways--influencing script adoption and amplifying the capacity of emerging of organizations, but not suppressing protest.
