Abstract

The survey data analysis in chapter five indicated that, though we may term the civil society in Bangladesh vibrant, it may hardly be considered as vigilant. The aim of this chapter is to point out the reasons for a non-vigilant rather a politicized civil society. This chapter uses three types of method and data, that is, survey analysis, content analysis, and case studies to specify the nature of politicization and co-optation by political parties. In a typical scenario in other countries, civil society can provide a counterbalance or even monitor the state both at the national and local levels. However, in Bangladesh, often CSOs have compromised their autonomy and politicized themselves to certain political parties or political blocs. In such a vulnerable position, civil society can hardly play its expected role to ensure good governance and strengthen democracy.

CSOs were actually asked [question 2.3] to rate their nature of contact with political parties on scale from 1 to 5 where 1 is no contact at all, 2 is medium contact, and 5 is the highest contact. For simplification, in Table 6.1 CSOs that rated their contact with political parties from 2 to 5 have been considered as the CSOs that have contact with a particular party.

Bangla is the national language spoken and written in Bangladesh.

Manual search refers to searching the reports individually from the hard copy of the newspaper issues and not through any machine-based search algorithm.
 
8
By mentioning these links and CSOs, I do not mean the use of these specific words but the mention of these attributes through the reports; this is more related to latent content analysis.
 
9
By violence, I mean unruly public functions, pressure, or force created by CSOs and parties through hooligan extortion, and strikes accompanied by violence. However, armed violence or bombings carried out by criminals as well as by the fundamentalist groups have not been considered because they do not confirm the definition used in this book or the Neo-Tocquevillean model.

A search of the Ittefaq, Daily Star, and Jugantor newspapers from May to August 2006 finds 69 reports and editorials on the primary school teachers’ movement. 29 of these reports were removed from the sample due to their duplicate reporting, leaving a sample size of 41 reports. This newspaper analysis is based on hardcopy newspaper reports collected from Rajshahi University Central Library in 2007. The updated section is based on newspaper reports available online.
