Using a case study of Bangladesh, and based on a long term participatory observation method, this book investigates claims of the success of microcredit, as well as the critiques of it, in the context of women’s empowerment. It confronts the distinction between women’s increasing wealth as a consequence of the success of microcredit programmes and their apparent non-commensurate empowerment, looking at two organisations (the Grameen Bank and the Bangladesh Rural Advancement Committee) as they operate in two localities in rural Bangladesh, in order to discover how enrichment and empowerment are often confused. The book goes on to establish that the well-publicised success stories of the microcredit programme are blown out of proportion, and that the dynamics of collective responsibility for repayment of loans by a group of women borrowers – usually seen to be a tool for the success of microcredit – is in fact no less repressive than traditional debt collectors. This book makes a contribution to development debates; challenging adherents to more closely specify those conditions under which microcredit does indeed have validity, as well as providing insights relevant to South Asian Studies and Development Studies.

This case highlights the merger process of the two telecom operators in Bangladesh: Robi Axiata and Airtel Bangladesh. Before the talks even started, the companies were bombarded with possible impositions of high tax rates and mandatory government fees, along with increased competition from other telecom companies. The merger was on the verge of collapse because of the reported fees. Being the first telecom merger in Bangladesh, the implications of legal and social factors in the telecom sector are highlighted in this case, along with issues relating to market power and market shares. This case study will assist undergraduate and postgraduate students in analysing the role of government interventions, and business practice regulations, and the manner in which business transactions are executed.
