An Anatomy of Collective Action.
Abstract
This paper examines a number of ongoing collective actions in Bangladesh in order to identify a preliminary framework for analyzing the process of contemporary collective actions with the objective of addressing the following basic research questions:
-
Does this process of collective action lead to a more relevant understanding and articulation of rights and claims and a more meaningful concept of citizenship?
-
To what extent do interests of the different partners in the collective action indicate the emergence of an inclusive concept of citizenship?
-
Does the process of collective actions allow people to overcome the \"resource\" and \"recognition\" constraints that lead to the non-provision or the violation of their rights and claims?
-
How equitable are the costs generated and benefits derived from these actions?
