Bangladesh is a country of paradoxes. The eighth most populous
country of the world, it has attracted considerable attention from
the international media and western policy-makers in recent years,
often for the wrong reasons: corruption, natural disasters caused
by its precarious geographical location, and volatile political
situations with several military coups, following its independence
from Pakistan in 1971. Institutional corruption, growing religious
intolerance and Islamist militancy have reflected the weakness of
the state and undermined its capacity. Yet the country has
demonstrated significant economic potential and has achieved
successes in areas such as female education, population control and
reductions in child mortality. Ali Riaz here examines the political
processes which engendered these paradoxical tendencies, taking
into account the problems of democratization and the effects this
has had, and will continue to have, in the wider South Asian
region. This comprehensive and unique overview of political and
historical developments in Bangladesh since 1971 will provide
essential reading for observers of Bangladesh and South Asia.
