| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The terms 'governance' and 'good governance' are increasingly being used in development literature. Intellectuals, bureaucrats and civil society members alike are accepting the spirit of the concept and are conceiving it in the context of their own experience and environment. The Bangladeshi government has recently been under constant pressure from various donor agencies for ensuring good governance. The implementation and achievement of good governance depends upon the transparency, honesty and efficiency of the legislature, executive and judiciary, along with the cooperation of civil society and the private sector. The main concern of this article is to analyse the role of the judiciary in the pursuit of good governance in Bangladesh. The study will focus on the Bangladesh Supreme Court in order to evaluate its role in ensuring good governance. |
