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.
