Book Description
Since its hard-won independence from Pakistan, Bangladesh has been ravaged by economic and environmental disasters. Only recently has the country begun to emerge as a fragile, but functioning, parliamentary democracy. The story of Bangladesh, told through the pages of this concise and readable book, is a truly remarkable one. By delving into its past, and through an analysis of the economic, political and social changes that have taken place over the last twenty years, the book explains how Bangladesh is becoming of increasing interest to the international community as a portal into some of the key issues of our age. In this way the book offers an important corrective to the view of Bangladesh as a failed state.

Book Description
This book provides an in-depth scholarly inquiry into evolution of Bangladesh nationhood and the political economy of the formative years of the nation under the Sheikh Mujib Regime (1972-75). The study evolves in the broader context of the historical, ideological, and religious developments that conditioned the partition of British India in 1947, the disintegration of Pakistan in 1971, and the evolution of Bangladesh nation-state since the early twentieth century. The study argues that the ideological and intellectual roots of many of the fiercely debated issues of contemporary Bangladesh can be traced to three major phases in the nation's tumultuous history: (a) the struggle against external colonialism-in the crosscurrents that underpinned the anti-colonial movements of the Indian Congress and the Indian Muslim League, which eventually led to the partition of British India; and (b) the struggle against internal colonialism-in the discriminatory policies of Pakistani regimes that propelled the emergence of a secular middle class in erstwhile East Pakistan, which not only shattered the foundation of Pakistan's religion-based nationalism, but also led to the disintegration of the Pakistani-nation itself; and (c) the post-liberation state formation-when the Mujib regime vacillated between socialist and market-oriented principles in the economic arena and the supremacy of the political party over the nation in the political front.

Book Description
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.
