Since its Independence in 1971, Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in terms of reducing poverty levels, achieving high levels of economic growth over a sustained period of time, and meeting its Millennium Development Goals (MDG) targets set by the United Nations. With some justification, Bangladesh is considered an international development success story, and the country appears to be well on track to meet its policy target of becoming a middle-income country by 2021, the same year the country will celebrate 50 years of Independence.This book explores the central issue of Bangladeshi politics: the weakness of governance. The coexistence of a poor governance track record and a relatively strong socioeconomic performance makes Bangladesh an intriguing case which throws up exciting and relevant conceptual and policy challenges. Structured in four sections - Political Settlement, Elites and Deep Structures; Democracy, Citizenship and Values; Civil Society, Local Context and Political Change; Informality and Accountability – the book identifies and engages with these challenges. Chapters by experts in the field share a number of conceptual and epistemological principles and offer a combination of theoretical and empirical insights, and cover a good range of contemporary issues and debate.Employing a structurally determinist perspective, this book explains politics and society in Bangladesh from a novel perspective. Academics in the field of governance and politics in developing countries, with a focus on South Asia and Bangladesh will welcome its publication.

Written by a team of internationally respected experts, this book explores the conditions under which social policy, defined as the public pursuit of secure welfare, operates in the poorer regions of the world. Social policy in advanced capitalist countries operates through state intervention to compensate for the inadequate welfare outcomes of the labour market. Such welfare regimes cannot easily be reproduced in poorer regions of the world where states suffer problems of governance and labour markets are imperfect and partial. Other welfare regimes therefore prevail involving non-state actors such as landlords, moneylenders and patrons. This book seeks to develop a conceptual framework for understanding different types of welfare regime in a range of countries in Asia, Latin America and Africa and makes an important contribution to the literature by breaking away from the traditional focus on Europe and North America.

Arif Naveed’s scholarship offers an in-depth analysis of whether the promise of social mobility offered by the expansion of education in Pakistan has been delivered. It asks how education has impacted on the national poverty-education gap and whether education succeeds at a local level, given the powerful constraints associated with the social structure in rural Punjab.The volume offers new theoretical and methodological tools for the study of social and economic mobility through education in a Southern context. The historical analysis of Pakistan’s educational reform and large-scale national statistical data sets uncovers the changing nature of the origins-education-destinations triangle. Using an innovative Habitus Listening Guide, the voices of fathers, mothers, sons and daughters reveal their aspirations and strategies to achieve taraqqi (‘a better life’), despite the social closure strategies used by the elite and the material realities that the disadvantaged face.Compiled posthumously by a team of leading academics, this rich multi-dimensional study of education’s impact will be of interest to scholars and researchers in the fields of social mobility studies, international and comparative education, post-colonial studies, rural development and South Asian studies. Policy-makers will appreciate Naveed’s key insights about how to ensure that the education promise is fulfilled for all.
