NGOs (Non-Governmental Organizations) have emerged in both a
development and aid capacity in Bangladesh, providing wide-reaching
public services to the country's population living in extreme
poverty. However, resistance to and limitations of NGO-led
development - which in conjunction with Bangladesh's social
transformation - led to a new religious-based NGO development
practice. Looking at the role of Islamic NGOs in Bangladesh, the
book investigates new forms of neoliberal governmentality supported
by international donors. It discusses how this form of social
regulation produces and reproduces subjectivities, particularly
Muslim women subjectivity, and has combined religious and economic
rationality, further complicating the boundaries and the
relationship between Islam, modernity, and development. The book
argues that both secular and Islamic NGOs target women in the name
of empowerment but more importantly as the most reliable partners
to meet their debt obligations of micro-financing schemes,
including shari'a-based financing. The targeted women, in turn,
experience Islamic NGOs as less coercive and more sensitive to
their religious environment in the rural village community than are
secular NGOs. Providing a comparative study of the role of
religious and secular NGOs in the implementation of neoliberal
policies and development strategies, this book will be a
significant addition to research on South Asian Politics,
Development Studies, Gender Studies, and Religion.
