Inhaltsangabe

This monograph analyzes development through an examination of those class relations and how they are situated vis-à-vis the politics of development and economic globalization in Bangladesh, and how they shape aid delivery mechanisms and aid recipients’ choices in  participating in such program. One of the main findings is that development in Bangladesh relies on dual hegemony, which he articulates as an alliance between the new Bangladeshi political and economic elite and the Western international aid/development industry. He argues that dual hegemony functions in such a way that it erodes the Bangladeshi middle-class and reinforces class and caste differences through the privatization of the public sector and greater fragmentation of civil society. This book is of interest to scholars of political Islam, international politics, and security studies, including terrorism and the politics of South Asia.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

“Very few studies have endeavoured to explore how neoliberal policies of the Bangladeshi state impacted institutions such as education and military, contributed to the othering in social milieu, and shaped the daily lives of the people. Mustahid untangles this relationship, analyzes them in-depth and challenges the conventional wisdom. Empirical data gathered from long field research has been weaved with the theoretical insights and offers a unique perspective.”

― Ali Riaz, Distinguished Professor of Political Science, Illinois State University, and President of the American Institute of Bangladesh Studies (AIBS)

“Bangladesh has long been viewed as a donor darling in the international aid industry and a crucible for development programs, policies, and non-governmental organizations, yet poverty and inequality persists. Husain’s book examines this puzzle and offers a theoretically rich and original interpretation of the history of development in Bangladesh and how the interplay of development, neoliberalism and Islamism have shaped the evolution of the Bangladeshi state, society, and economy in recent years.”

― Liam Swiss, President, Canadian Association for the Study of International Development (CASID)

“A brilliant piece of scholarship! In juxtaposing the country at the crossroads of globalization with machinations by international and local interest groups, Mustahid has beautifully illustrated the complexity of the neoliberal problem.”

―Taj Hashmi, author of Fifty Years of Bangladesh, 1971-2021
