Conceptual Discourse

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Civil Society in Bangladesh

Part of the book series: New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives ((NFRSASIPER,volume 46))

Abstract

This chapter discusses in detail and examines the concept of civil society from its theoretical perspective. The objective of this chapter is to set the conceptual discourse for the research. The two prominent schools, The Neo-Tocquevillean School and the Neo-Gramscian School, in the study of civil society have been brought under consideration for studying developing countries in Asia. The relationship between civil society and the politics, specifically in connection to democracy and development has been focused upon. Moreover, different models for studying the civil society in Bangladesh have been visited and modified leading to a mixed model that is best for the present study. Finally, the key concepts used in this book have been defined and explained.
