Jude L. Fernando explores the paradoxical relationship between NGOs
and capitalism, showing that supposedly progressive organizations
often promote essentially the same policies and ideas as existing
governments. The book examines how a diverse group of NGOs have
shaped state formation in Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. It argues that,
rather than influencing state formation for the better, NGOs have
been integrated into the capitalist system and their language
adopted to give traditional exploitative social relations a
transformative appearance. This enlightening study will give pause
to those who see NGOs as drivers of true social change and will
encourage students of development studies to make a deeper analysis
of state formation.
