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.

Download or read book The Bangladesh Reader written by Meghna Guhathakurta and published by Duke University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-30 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bangladesh is the world's eighth most populous country. It has more inhabitants than either Russia or Japan, and its national language, Bengali, ranks sixth in the world in terms of native speakers. Founded in 1971, Bangladesh is a relatively young nation, but the Bengal Delta region has been a major part of international life for more than 2,000 years, whether as an important location for trade or through its influence on Buddhist, Hindu, and Muslim life. Yet the country rarely figures in global affairs or media, except in stories about floods, poverty, or political turmoil. The Bangladesh Reader does what those portrayals do not: It illuminates the rich historical, cultural, and political permutations that have created contemporary Bangladesh, and it conveys a sense of the aspirations and daily lives of Bangladeshis. Intended for travelers, students, and scholars, the Reader encompasses first-person accounts, short stories, historical documents, speeches, treaties, essays, poems, songs, photographs, cartoons, paintings, posters, advertisements, maps, and a recipe. Classic selections familiar to many Bangladeshis—and essential reading for those who want to know the country—are juxtaposed with less-known pieces. The selections are translated from a dozen languages; many have not been available in English until now. Featuring eighty-three images, including seventeen in color, The Bangladesh Reader is an unprecedented, comprehensive introduction to the South Asian country's turbulent past and dynamic present.

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 Paradoxes of the Popular written by Nusrat Sabina Chowdhury and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-27 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few places are as politically precarious as Bangladesh, even fewer as crowded. Its 57,000 or so square miles are some of the world's most inhabited. Often described as a definitive case of the bankruptcy of postcolonial governance, it is also one of the poorest among the most densely populated nations. In spite of an overriding anxiety of exhaustion, there are a few important caveats to the familiar feelings of despair—a growing economy, and an uneven, yet robust, nationalist sentiment—which, together, generate revealing paradoxes. In this book, Nusrat Sabina Chowdhury offers insight into what she calls "the paradoxes of the popular," or the constitutive contradictions of popular politics. The focus here is on mass protests, long considered the primary medium of meaningful change in this part of the world. Chowdhury writes provocatively about political life in Bangladesh in a rich ethnography that studies some of the most consequential protests of the last decade, spanning both rural and urban Bangladesh. By making the crowd its starting point and analytical locus, this book tacks between multiple sites of public political gatherings and pays attention to the ephemeral and often accidental configurations of the crowd. Ultimately, Chowdhury makes an original case for the crowd as a defining feature and a foundational force of democratic practices in South Asia and beyond.

Download or read book Political Islam and Governance in Bangladesh written by Ali Riaz and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-04 with total page 310 pages. 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.
