This book offers an overview of the history and development of
civil society in three major nations of South Asia – Pakistan,
India and Bangladesh – from colonial times to the present. It
examines the liberalization of civil society since the 1980s, the
needs it created for civil action, the professionalization of civil
society organizations, and the extent to which civil society may
benefit society at large in the context of local, national and
global transformations in the economy, political regime and
ideology. The reader will find new insights on the interaction
between the liberalization of multifaceted civil societies in the
three countries, presenting contrasts such as restrictions put on
women’s organizations or labour unions and acceptance of
religious organizations’ activities. The volume looks at forms of
transfer of civil society models, representation and democratic
legitimacy of civil society organizations such as nongovernmental
organizations, government organized NGOs and faith-based
organizations, along with the structuring of civil society through
legal frames as well as female, religious, and ethnic mobilizations
around language and literature. Using wide-ranging empirical data
and theoretical analyses, it deals with civil society issues
relating to human rights and political challenges, justice,
inequality, empowerment, and the role of bureaucracy, women’s
movements, and ethnic and linguistic minorities. It also presents
early responses to the Covid-19 crisis in 2020 which created
significant pressure on the states and on civil society. This book
will be useful to scholars and researchers of political studies,
development studies, sociology, public policy and governance, law
and human rights, as also to professionals in think tanks, civil
society activists and NGOs.
