This book evaluates Bangladesh's impressive economic and social
progress, more often referred to as a 'development surprise'. In
doing so, the book examines the gap in existing explanations of
Bangladesh's development and then offers an empirically informed
analysis of a range of distinctive factors, policies, and actions
that have individually and collectively contributed to the progress
of Bangladesh. In an inclusive way, the book covers the
developmental role, relation, and impact of poverty reduction,
access to finance, progress in education and social empowerment,
reduction in the climatic vulnerability, and evolving sectoral
growth activities in the agriculture, garments, and light
industries. It also takes into account the important role of the
government and NGOs in the development process, identifies
bottlenecks and challenges to Bangladesh's future development path
and suggests measures to overcome them. By providing an inclusive
narrative to theorize Bangladesh's development, which is still
missing in the public discourse, this book posits that Bangladesh
per se can offer a development model to other developing countries.

This book focuses on the tremendous shift in both economic growth
and development progress taking place towards the Asia-Pacific
Region. Each of the countries in the region has various concerns
and challenges for its sustainable development, a common goal most
of them are trying to achieve at the moment. Interestingly,
sustainable development in the region may be critical for achieving
sustainable development at the global level as well. With a limited
mandate, the book covers some specific developmental issues of 'the
hot spots' of APR that are regarded to be contributing to their
sustainable development. The book also looks at the formation and
strengthening of some economic and financial initiatives with the
potentials to affect growth and influence economic cooperation and
integration of the countries in the region.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainable Development in
Emerging Economies is an anthology of seven case studies plus two
theoretical chapters in a comparative context. It analyzes issues
related to the rise of multinational corporations, their immense
economic and political influence in a globalized world, and their
social responsibility/corporate citizenship. Corporate social
responsibility is closely examined in terms of meeting the
challenges of the widening gap between rich and poor, relationships
with sovereign states, environmental degradation, exploitation of
natural resources, labor practices, and human rights issues in
societies in which multinational corporations operate. Are these
corporations exempt from social roles and accountable to only their
shareholders (the minimalist position propounded by economists such
as Milton Friedman ), or do they also have ethical and social
responsibilities to participate in improving the quality of human
lives in impoverished societies in Africa , Asia and Latin America?
