This
book explores the controversy in political science about the civil
society/social capital paradigm by studying the performance of
decentralized governments in West Bengal and Bangladesh to see if a
growth in social capital thus could explain why decentralized
governments seem to be more effective in West Bengal, though both
countries decentralized their governments about the same time. Here, a
few gram panchayats and NGOs are focused on. This region is very
interesting to study as here for centuries there was a common history,
civic culture, ethnic identity and language (it finally being religion
that divided Bengal). Published
