Broken Promises of Globalization: The Case of the Bangladesh
Garment Industry analyzes the consequences of the latest wave of
globalization within the context of the Bangladesh garment
industry's integration into world markets and production chains.
Shahidur Rahman has found that although globalization has created
opportunities, the process of globalization has also triggered a
deformed development leaving Bangladesh increasingly vulnerable to
shifts and tensions within the world trading regime. Bangladesh s
vulnerability, experienced as a constraining framework by all the
major actors in dependent industrialization, is of particular
importance to the progress both of workers and of Bangladesh s
industrializing modernizers in the garment industry. This book
intends to respond to three questions. First, has the garment
industry been able to counteract the vulnerability that women
garment workers had experienced in their villages? Second, is the
formation of a welfare committee a substitute model for unions when
it comes to protecting women s rights? Finally, how is a Least
Developing Country dealing with both domestic and external
pressures in its response to globalization? Rahman argues that in
spite of the opportunities created by the growth of the garment
industry, the key actors such as workers, entrepreneurs, unions,
and even the government have become vulnerable in the process of
the global integration of this industry. This is an ethnographic
study that tells the story of the rise, growth, and demise of a
Bangladeshi garment company. From a broader approach, an internal
force such as the government of Bangladesh is not alone in being
responsible for pushing the workers into a vulnerable position;
external pressure on the state is also responsible for intensifying
the vulnerability of Bangladeshi institutions and actors. Broken
Promises of Globalization exposes the crisis Bangladeshi garment
companies face as a result of the momentous pressures emanating
from the regime of neo-liberal globalization. This ethnographic
study, exploring a wide range of contemporary and recent
development issues, holds particular relevance for students and
scholars of sociology, political science, political economics,
labor, and development studies.
