Summary/Abstract |
Awami League, the ruling political party of Bangladesh, has
vociferously adopted vengeful politics since it has come into power in 2009.
Instead of focusing on development and betterment of people, it is seeking
revenge from political opponents. Awami League established a domestic
tribunal named the International Crimes Tribunal (ICT) on 25 March 2010. Its
purported objective was to detain, prosecute, and punish persons responsible
for committing genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and other
transgressions under international law. According to experts of international
law, this tribunal does not meet the international standards for dispensing
justice. They argue that its establishment is aimed at discrediting and
maligning the political opponents.

Summary/Abstract |
Bangladesh is currently facing an incremental growth of radicalization. This radicalization can be traced back to the country’s early post-Independence years. Over time, political violence, ideological clashes between secular and right-wing ideologies, and weak governance have created conditions for the growth of radical Islam. The public rhetoric on corruption, weakening of democratic institutions, inadequate law enforcement agencies, fragile justice delivery system, fledgling educational and social institutions and growing unemployment provides further space for alternative narratives by extremist ideologues. Home-grown extremist outfits have received ideological and tactical supports from transnational terrorist network such as Islamic State (IS) and Al-Qaeda in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS), but only in a limited manner. The supply and demand side of radicalization in Bangladesh has not yet been addressed by actors such as the government, private sector, civil society and media. The failures in multiple sectors in the state governance have led to a situation where IS and AQIS now see Bangladesh as a potential ground for exerting their supremacy as flag bearers of radical forms of Islam.

Summary/Abstract |
In 1991, an interim arrangement called the caretaker system was introduced in Bangladesh to facilitate the transition from dictatorship to democracy. Following the scrapping of this system, the journey of Bangladesh democracy continued a bumpy ride, cantering around the around the holding of tenth general elections. The awami league (AL) and the allies were adamant on holding the general elections under elected people at the helm while the Bangladesh nationalist party (BNP) and allies were not prepared to budge an inch in bringing back the non-party caretaker system. in fact, even after restoration of democracy in 1991, the democratic system in Bangladesh had little room for development.

Summary/Abstract |
The Awami League swept back to power in Bangladesh's first elections since a state of emergency was imposed in 2007. India accused Pakistan of aiding the Islamist terrorists who carried out the Mumbai attacks. South Africa's ruling African National Congress (ANC) split and corruption charges were revived against the ANC leader and putative next president, Jacob Zuma. Sri Lanka's army seized the Tamil Tigers' de facto capital and the country's leading journalist was assassinated. International euphoria over the election of Barack Obama as US president was tempered by the unfolding global recession; the US led the way, with 530,000 jobs lost in November.

Summary/Abstract |
This paper makes a departure from the dominant formalistic approach to 'democratic consolidation' to explore a range of issues, especially mutual distrust and misperception, to analyse why Bangladesh's quest for democracy remains elusive. By taking a closer look at the events that led to the collapse of democracy in 2007, it provides new insights into the failure of relevant political actors to reconcile their personal and political differences in order to give democracy a chance to take root in the country's seemingly dysfunctional political landscape. It suggests that the emergence of what can be called the politics of distrust was a major factor in the breakdown of democracy in 2007. Moving the debate beyond the practice of holding free and fair elections on a regular basis, it is argued that Bangladesh's prospect for fostering a democratic political culture depends on the ability of rival political actors to make concerted efforts to build credible, well-functioning legal and political institutions that cultivate a culture of trust not only among political parties but also between the democratic state and the ordinary citizens.

Summary/Abstract |
Bangladesh was born in December 1971, after Pakistan rejected installation of the Awami League of East Pakistan, that had won the national elections held in end 1970 and then proceeded to crush democracy in East Pakistan by arresting the leaders of the Awami League and brutally suppressing its democratic movement. The Awami League and the people of East Pakistan were thus forced to resort to guerilla warfare and fight for independence. In this fight the Muslim population of East Pakistan got divided. Some Bengali Muslims who supported the fundamentalist right, sided with Pakistan in its attempt to crush the move for independence by the majority of Bengali Muslims.
