Dear Sofie et al.,
In addition to Cristina's recommendation of the Michael Gunter book, which I heartily endorse, let me also recommend a book on the history of the World Conservation Union (IUCN): Martin Holdgate, The Green Web: A Union for World Conservation (Earthscan, 1999). Among other things, Holdgate discusses the considerations that went into re-locating IUCN from Brussels first to Morges and then to Gland, in Switzerland. During their history, IUCN and WWF have found it useful to co-locate. Perhaps from your perspective this will seem to be ancient history. If not, you may also want to glance at Max Nicholson, The Environmental Revolution: A Guide for the New Masters of the World (McGraw Hill, 1970), which also touches on the move from Brussels to Morges.

More concretely, I was wondering whether anyone can recommend some literature on location strategies of these environmental NGOs? This is a rather specific topic, so texts may also refer to broader themes such as lobbying activities, ... as long as there is a link with location strategies (office network).
