Structural Adjustment and the Response of Civil Society in Bangladesh and Zimbabwe: A Comparative Analysis

Abstract

Structural adjustment policies (SAPs) are now a commonplace, even ubiquitous, manifestation of the established dominance of neo-liberalism in an era of intensified globalization of economies, institutions and social relations. Both SAPs and globalization have led to myriad forms of popular resistance which have begun to inform a set of ‘second wave’ analyses of civil societies. Academic fascination with ‘new’ social movements and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) has intensified since the 1980s because organized responses and resistance have proliferated as the shocks attendant on one-and a-half decades of initially economic and now political reform conditionalities have become ever more apparent. 1 These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
