Bangladesh at Fifty by Mustafa K. Mujeri,Neaz Mujeri Pdf

This book explores the diverse experience of Bangladesh’s development over the last fifty years and provides systematic explanations of its success in socioeconomic development. It also assesses future trends on the basis of past experiences. It is widely acknowledged that Bangladesh provides one of the most striking examples in the study of present day development along with rapid growth and catching up. The analysis highlights the development traps that Bangladesh faced during its journey and the ones that may have to be faced in the coming decades in order to move towards prosperity. The book asserts that explaining Bangladesh’s development is not for the simpleminded; any single mono-causal explanation for Bangladesh’s development is bound to fall down in the face of reality. This book will be of interest to academics, students, policy makers and development practitioners especially in developing countries—in particular in South Asia and Bangladesh.

Understanding Fifty Years of Bangladesh Politics by Harun- Or-Rashid Pdf

This book studies the first 50 years of Bangladesh politics since independence. It looks at Bangladesh politics as a unique case for study to analyze and understand the role of institutions, political parties, the election commission, election-time government, judiciary, the media, etc. The volume cross-examines the 1971 War of Liberation and the brutal killing of the republic’s founding father in 1975 as the two great divides that crystallized in the political arena between the Awami League on the one side and the BNP and Jamaat-e-Islami on the other. Through deep dives on major historical events and key political developments that have since shaped Bangladesh’s entire society and politics, it then delves into topics including the parliament, electoral integrity, civil society, and politics as they take on a confrontational course. An incisive study on major struggles, achievements, and challenges faced by Bangladesh in the 20th century, this volume will be of great interest to scholars and researchers in political science, democracy, modern history, and South Asia studies.

Fifty Years of Bangladesh, 1971-2021 by Taj Hashmi Pdf

This book, the first historical sociology of its kind concerning Bangladesh, examines the country's what-went-wrong-syndrome during the first fifty years of its existence, 1971-2021. The work is an exception to the traditional studies on modern and contemporary Bangladesh. The study is also a post-history of united Pakistan. Busting several myths, it sheds light on many known and unknown facts about the history, politics, society, and culture of the country. Besides being a twice-born country – liberated twice, from the British in 1947 and from West Pakistanis in 1971 – it is also an artificial entity suffering from acute crises of culture, development, governance, and identity. Hashmi attributes the culture and identity crises to the demographic byproducts of bad governance. In addition to being overpopulated, Bangladesh is also resource-poor and has one of the most unskilled populations, largely lumpen elements and peasants. According to Marx, these people represent “the unchanging remnants of the past”. The second round of independence empowered these lumpen classes, who suffer from an identity crisis and never learn the art of governance. The proliferation of pseudo-history about liberation has further divided the polity between the two warring tribes who only glorify their respective idols, Mujib and Zia. Pre-political and pre-capitalist peasants’ / lumpen elements’ lack of mutual trust and respect have further plagued Bangladesh, turning it into one of the least governable, corrupt, and inefficient countries. It is essential to replace the pre-capitalist order of the country run by multiple lumpen classes with capitalist and inclusive institutions.

The Aid Lab by Naomi Hossain Pdf

From an unpromising start as 'the basket-case' to present day plaudits for its human development achievements, Bangladesh plays an ideological role in the contemporary world order, offering proof that the neo-liberal development model works under the most testing conditions. How were such rapid gains possible in a context of chronically weak governance? The Aid Lab subjects this so-called 'Bangladesh paradox' to close scrutiny, evaluating public policies and their outcomes for poverty and development since Bangladesh's independence in 1971. Countering received wisdom that its gains owe to an early shift to market-oriented economic reform, it argues that a binding political settlement, a social contract to protect against the crises of subsistence and survival, united the elite, the masses, and their aid donors in the wake of the devastating famine of 1974. This laid resilient foundations for human development, fostering a focus on the poorest and most precarious, and in particular on the concerns of women. In chapters examining the environmental, political and socioeconomic crisis of the 1970s, the book shows how the lessons of the famine led to a robustly pro-poor growth and social policy agenda, empowering the Bangladeshi state and its non-governmental organizations to protect and enable its population to thrive in its engagements in the global economy. Now a middle-income country, Bangladesh's role as the world's laboratory for aided development has generated lessons well beyond its borders, and Bangladesh continues to carve a pioneering pathway through the risks of global economic integration and climate change.

Bangladesh@50 by A K M Shahidul Islam Pdf

On 16th December 1971, a new nation was born. Bangladesh, literally meaning the 'country (or land) of Bengal', came into being with a declaration of independence following nine months of liberation war. So, on 16th December 2021, the 'land of Bengal' will be celebrating its 50th Victory Day and the birth of its nation. Proud Bangladeshis from all walks of life both in the country and right across the world will come together to commemorate the occasion. It will no doubt be a time of reflection, remembrance and gratitude for the many people who lost their lives but there will also be those who wish to look forward reflecting on how far the country has come and what the future holds. The initiator of this book A K M Shahidul Islam grew up in Bangladesh but now lives in France and like many proud Bangladeshis wanted to do something to commemorate our 50th Victory Day. Mr Islam was a Tour Guide whilst studying in Dhaka for four years from 2010 to 2014. During this time, he had the opportunity to meet hundreds of guests in Bangladesh and to travel with them to all corners of Bangladesh many times. Mr Islam made lots of friends with people from different countries and they are all still in touch. To celebrate the happy moment together with Bangladeshi, Mr Islam invited his friends to share their memories of Bangladesh and its people to honour and give back to a community who offered them the best hospitality while they were at their beautiful homeland. Today, the patchwork pieces of a single bonding with friends met on the way, come together to create a rich quilt made of stories, images, emotions and vibrations. We are all proud to present you today the results of our collaboration. The 'Bangladesh@50: Through the Lens of Our Global Friends' book project consists of photographs and words that beautifully capture some unique perspectives on Bangladesh. Our memories of the country and its people are still alive today and this is strongly reflected in our short stories. These stories have all been written with love for Bangladesh and the very spirit of the book is aimed at connecting people in Bangladesh with each of the visitors. What's really interesting has been to note both the similarities and differences between the perspectives. People may have travelled to the same physical locations in Bangladesh, but their interpretation will be unique to them. In some ways, however, these unique individual experiences combine to present a complete picture of the experience of the country from the point of view of a visitor to Bangladesh. The book is available to purchase online on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing worldwide and 50% of any proceeds will be used to promote selected cultural and heritage projects in Bangladesh. First and foremost, this is a project to commemorate the birth of Bangladesh. But if we can use it as a vehicle to give back, then that's great too but the main aim is to capture a unique perspective on Bangladesh to mark the 50th Victory Day event by bringing people together and making it available to all Bangladeshis and interested parties across the world. And at a time when separation and division increasingly threaten to define us, a project that unites us rather than divides us and a unique invitation to open up to different perspectives could just be the tonic that we all need right now.

Coastal Disaster Risk Management in Bangladesh by Mahbuba Nasreen,Khondoker Mokaddem Hossain,Mohammed Moniruzzaman Khan Pdf

This book addresses disaster and disaster risk reduction (DRR) practices, constraints and capacity in the context of coastal Bangladesh. Located in the lower riparian of the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh has to face frequent disasters such as floods, cyclones, river erosion, salinity intrusion as well as drought. Drawing together a range of multidisciplinary perspectives, Coastal Disaster Risk Management in Bangladesh explores the connection between climate change and DRR issues in this region. The editors reorganize disaster studies around social and physical changes that can reduce these risks and put at risk populations on a stronger footing by making risk reduction the focus. These include measures to improve disaster preparedness, to boost recovery by creating better disaster planning and programs, and physical and social initiatives to improve disaster resilience. Also, analyzing the gender perspective, the volume also utilizes the local knowledge framework to consider whether these populations have resilient knowledge that needs to be incorporated into initiatives based on advanced technology and perspectives. This book will be of interest to academics, researchers, students, policymakers and practitioners in the field of disaster, DRR and governance, climate change, climate change adaptation (CCA) and the environment.
