Routledge Islamic NGOs in Bangladesh - South Asia Series

Explore the evolving landscape of social development in South Asia with this scholarly study from Routledge. As NGOs have become vital providers of public services to populations living in extreme poverty, the nature of aid in Bangladesh has undergone a significant shift. This book examines how resistance to traditional NGO-led models and broader social transformations have given rise to new religious-based development practices. By focusing on Islamic NGOs, this work investigates how these organizations operate within the framework of neoliberal governmentality. It analyzes how international donors support these new forms of social regulation and how they impact the country. This text provides a necessary look at the intersection of religion, development, and global economic structures in one of the world's most significant NGO hubs.
