These structures, which he calls intermestic development circles, bring together international donor agencies with various domestic community and private organizations. In Bangladesh not-for-profit agencies are dramatically transforming their operation and organizational cultures, while in turn Western NGOs are themselves changing in subtle ways. Scholars of development will find Stiles's intriguing account of the reciprocating effects of extensive interaction, cooperation, and tensions between international donors and domestic recipients informative and provocative. Moving through three discernable phases, each one explainable by resort to different theories, these development circles grow from mere trading arrangements to a coherent social structure, separate from the rest of civil society in Bangladesh. While in the process of the not-for-profits receiving assistance become wealthier and more effective, they lose much of their local identity and become part of a transnational network. At the same time, donors must recast themselves in order to work effectively with these agencies, which often creates tension between local and home offices. The book closes with some recommendations that might attenuate some of the more troubling effects of this transformation. 606 $aEconomic assistance$zBangladesh 606 $aEconomic assistance, Domestic$zBangladesh 606 $aCivil society$zBangladesh 606 $aNon-governmental organizations$zBangladesh 607 $aBangladesh$xEconomic policy 607 $aBangladesh$xEconomic conditions 607 $aBangladesh$xSocial conditions 615 0$aEconomic assistance 615 0$aEconomic assistance, Domestic 615 0$aCivil society 615 0$aNon-governmental organizations 676 $a306/.095492 700 $aStiles$b Kendall W$01804017 801 0$bDLC 801 1$bDLC 801 2$bDLC 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971523403321 996 $aCivil society by design$94351857 997 $aUNINA
