Download or read book India Bangladesh Domestic Politics written by Punam Pandey and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-26 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with how the governments of India and Bangladesh manage the Ganges River. On the basis of the Ganges issue, it explains India’s involvement in the domestic politics of Bangladesh and how this involvement, in turn, shapes Ganges river politics. The book further analyses the constant friction between Indian preferences for bilateral negotiation in comparison to Bangladesh’s demand for multilateral cooperation on the Ganges. This also highlights the role of civil society, tracing how organisations have engaged in and explored potential compromises acceptable to both countries. As the term of the treaty comes to an end in 2026, the present work underlines its limitations, as the impacts of climate change will involve far more than distress on water. In closing, it discusses a range of other challenges, including the erosion of the Indian central government’s monopoly in foreign policy, especially in relation to its neighbours. Through extensive fieldwork in India and Bangladesh, together with interviews with politicians, diplomats and all those closely associated with the Ganges deliberations, the book reveals subtle aspects of the negotiations. What emerges as a distinctive feature of Indo-Bangladesh interactions on the Ganges is the fact that successful outcomes depend on the extent to which the ruling political powers in both countries accommodate one other’s domestic political dynamics. This insight enriches scholarship on the Ganges River, addressing an aspect largely overlooked in the literature. Offering an up-to-the-minute analysis, the book examines the implementation of the Ganges Treaty through 2015, making it of interest to researchers focusing on South Asia and international relations, scholars on and practitioners of Indian foreign policy, journalists, water experts, civil society groups, and university students.
Download or read book Politics and Governance in Bangladesh written by Ipshita Basu and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its Independence in 1971, Bangladesh has made remarkable progress in terms of reducing poverty levels, achieving high levels of economic growth over a sustained period of time, and meeting its Millennium Development Goals (MDG) targets set by the United Nations. With some justification, Bangladesh is considered an international development success story, and the country appears to be well on track to meet its policy target of becoming a middle-income country by 2021, the same year the country will celebrate 50 years of Independence. This book explores the central issue of Bangladeshi politics: the weakness of governance. The coexistence of a poor governance track record and a relatively strong socioeconomic performance makes Bangladesh an intriguing case which throws up exciting and relevant conceptual and policy challenges. Structured in four sections - Political Settlement, Elites and Deep Structures; Democracy, Citizenship and Values; Civil Society, Local Context and Political Change; Informality and Accountability – the book identifies and engages with these challenges. Chapters by experts in the field share a number of conceptual and epistemological principles and offer a combination of theoretical and empirical insights, and cover a good range of contemporary issues and debate. Employing a structurally determinist perspective, this book explains politics and society in Bangladesh from a novel perspective. Academics in the field of governance and politics in developing countries, with a focus on South Asia and Bangladesh will welcome its publication.

Book excerpt: It Is Generally Viewed That A Country Like Bangladesh Which Is Weak, Poor And Heavily Dependent Upon The Assistance Of The International Institutions And Major Powers Of The World Can Not Have Any Thing Significant In Its Foreign Policy Which Can Be Studied. The Reality Is Contrary To The Common Perception. Foreign Policy Of All The Least Developed Countries Including Bangladesh Is More Important For Their Policy Makers Than Any Domestic Policy. Policy Formulation For Development In Any Area And Its Implementation Through Programmes Is Largely Dependent Upon The International ?Development Partners?. National Budget Of Bangladesh Is Normally Presented In The Parliament Every Year After The Annual Meeting Of The International Aid Consortium On Bangladesh. Foreign Policy And Diplomacy Is The Only Tool To Mobilize And Maintain Differents ?Development Partners? Interested In The Problems Of A Ldc Like Bangladesh. Foreign Policy Is Not Important Only For The Development Of The Ldcs But Also For Their National Security. Like All Developed And Developing States, These States Too Have Their Threat Perceptions ? Actual Or Imaginary. In Most Cases Unsettled Borders Are Causes Of Conflicts Among The Developing Countries Including The Ldcs. Active And Moderate Foreign Policy In The International Organizations, Cooperative Relationship With The Major World Powers And Problem Free Cordial Relations With Neighbours Is Essential For Their Security. Dissuasion Of Neighbour/S Or Any Other Interested Foreign Power From Covert Or Overt Support To Peaceful Or Insurgent Movement/S Of Disaffected Group/S Within The Country Is A Big Challenge To The Foreign Policy Makers Of These States. Development And Maintenance Of Military Capability As Deterrence To Any Foreign Intervention Is Non-Feasible For Them. Diplomacy Is The Only Effective Means For The Protection And Promotion Of Their Vital National Interests Particularly When The Other Party Is More Powerful. The Status Of Bangladesh As The Largest Ldc In Terms Of Population, The Geo-Politics Of Its Location, The Overlapping Physiography And Hydrography With India Are The Factors Which Create Many Challenges For The Development And Security Of The Country. There Is No Alternative Of An Active, Moderate And Liberal Foreign Policy For Bangladesh To Overcome The Problems Coming In The Way Of Nation-State Building. Despite Many Of Its Failures, Bangladesh Which Was Leveled As A ?Basket Case? By The Pessimists After Its Emergence As An Independent State Has Been Successful In Overcoming Many Of Its Problems And Improving The Quality Of Life Of Its People In Many Respects. Its Achievements In The Sector Of Human Resources Development In Recent Year Have Been More Appreciable Than India And Pakistan. Active Foreign Policy Has Played Important Role For Bangladesh?S Successes In Different National Sectors. The Present Work Analyzes All The Important Dimensions Of Bangladeshi Foreign Policy In A Theoretical Paradigm. It Is Hoped That The Book Will Be Helpful In The Study Of The Foreign Policies Of Other Ldcs Particularly Of South Asia.
Download or read book Masks of Authoritarianism written by Arild Engelsen Ruud and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited book investigates how life is affected by the increasingly authoritarian regime in Bangladesh.Earlier a flawed but real electoral democracy, over the last several years Bangladesh has been characterised as a ‘hybrid regime’ in The Economist’s Democracy Index. Today it is a country in which law still rules and leaders are still chosen – but only on paper. The uniqueness of this book is not in defining regime type or investigating trajectories. It is in its efforts to study how these changes affect everyday life. All chapters are based on intimate knowledge of a field, on first-hand experience, and on interviews and ethnography. This book will interest political scientists and scholars of Bangladesh, the Islamic world and beyond, with findings of broad relevance to hybrid regimes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past decade has seen a marked policy focus upon Bangladesh, home to nearly 150 million Muslims; it has attracted the attention of the world due to weak governance and the rising tide of Islamist violence. This book provides a broad-ranging analysis of the growth and impact of "political Islam" in Bangladesh, and reactions to it. Grounded in empirical data, experts on Bangladesh examine the changing character of Bangladeshi politics since 1971, with a particular focus on the convergence of governance, Islamism and militancy. They examine the impacts of Islamist politics on education, popular culture and civil society, and the regional and extraregional connections of the Bangladeshi Islamist groups. Bringing together journalists and academics - all of whom have different professional and methodological backgrounds and field experiences which impact upon these issues from different vantage points - the book assesses Bangladesh’s own prospects for internal stability as well as its wider impact upon South Asian security. It argues that the political environment of Bangladesh, the appeal of Islamist ideology to the general masses and the dynamic adaptability of Islamist organizations all demonstrate that Bangladesh will continue to focus the attention of policy makers and analysts alike. This is a timely, incisive and original explanation of the rise of political Islam and Islamic militancy in Bangladesh.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Emergence of Bangladesh analyses and celebrates the first 50 years of Bangladesh as a nation, bringing insights from key scholars in Bangladeshi studies to an international audience, as well as ‘bringing home’ to a domestic audience the work of some of the nation’s greatest intellectual exports, the Bangladeshi scholars who have made a mark in their field of study in academia. The book offers unique coverage of the battlegrounds on which the founding of the new nation was fought, including language, power and religion, and provides unique insight into some of the hot spots that continue to shape the development of the nation: the issues of gender, culture, ethnicity, governance, the economy and the army. Those with an interest in understanding the past or present Bangladesh will find this a trove of frank and readable analysis.
Download or read book Government and NGOs in South Asia written by Mohammad Jahangir Hossain Mojumder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-11-25 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses efforts of Bangladeshi government and NGOs to strengthen local governance, and identifies the challenges posed by collaboration with NGOs. Presenting a dominantly qualitative study, the analysis explores whether engagement between the Sharique project to strengthen local governance and the Union Parishads has translated into success. In doing so, it argues that evidence points to a positive impact on institutionalising good governance and fiscal autonomy through widening participation in planning and decision-making, reinforcing accountability of functionaries and enhancing tax collection. Furthermore, this book demonstrates that the collaboration has aided the process of development of social capital between officials of councils and NGOs, as well as amongst the community members, encouraging future partnership governance. However, with the phasing out of the project as a propelling force, it also shows that the results fall short of being sustainable and, as such, that statuary support, unequivocal political commitment, and incentivising engagements are required to stabilise outcomes. Bridging a gap in the Development Studies literature, this book presents new findings on the collaboration of NGOs at the local level. It will be of interest to academics working in the field of South Asian Studies, Development Studies, and Asian Politics.
