Asymmetry in Indo-Bangladesh relations / Chowdhury, Mahfuzul H   Journal Article
Chowdhury, Mahfuzul H Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract The relation between the two close neighbors in the modern world is bound to be a relation of complex interdependence in normal situation for varied reasons. In South Asia, Bangladesh and India are not only geographically close neighbors, they also share common history, culture, and economic background. India also helped Bangladesh in its war of liberation from Pakistan in 1971, which prompted the liberation of Bangladesh from Pakistani occupation and hastened the emergence of Bangladesh as an independent state. Nethertheless, the relationship between these two neighbors is not symmetrically positive. While the reasons for asymmetry in their relations are manifold, a few of them may be worth mentioning here: history, the larger size of India compared to Bangladesh, the nature of political regimes and their leaders in the two countries, the government policies, geography/border, and the economic conditions in both the countries. This paper, while examining the recent issues that have created problems and the possible areas of cooperation and development in the relations between the two neighbors, suggests that a symmetrical relation of complex interdependence between India and Bangladesh will be beneficial for both the countries in many ways.

Japan - Bangladesh relations: a review of development partnership / Chowdhury, Mahfuzul H   Journal Article
Chowdhury, Mahfuzul H Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2008.
Summary/Abstract This article studies the nature of relationship between Japan and Bangladesh focusing mainly on the Japanese Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) policy for developing countries such as Bangladesh. It also covers trade and other related issues that shape the bilateral relations of these two countries in a historical perspective. This is an interesting study as Bangladesh has consistently been a major recipient of Japanese aid and assistance for a long time in various areas of crucial importance for Bangladesh's development ranging from education, health, rural development, power plant development, private sector development, urban waste management, infrastructure development like building big bridges over mighty rivers, water supply in major cities, good governance and democratization projects. Japan is a great economic power and also regarded as an 'aid great power' but not a military superpower, thus, what determines its economic assistance policy and relations with a country like Bangladesh in South Asia is the central theme of this paper. Cultural relations between Japan and Bangladesh even go beyond the recent diplomatic history.
