| Summary/Abstract |
Bangladesh has both external and internal security concerns. As far as internal security is concerned, the list is of some length. It appears that the security sector, especially the police, has not been accountable, transparent and efficient in Bangladesh. Adequate and coherent measures for a holistic reform in the security sector have not been evident in Bangladesh. Moreover, there remains a lack of coordination and accountability even in the reforms undertaken. The effectiveness of any measures taken is further compromised by rampant corruption and bureaucratic lethargy. It is in this context that this article will aim to examine the functionality of the security sector in Bangladesh and the role of oversight mechanisms in making it more accountable to the people. The article will also discuss the key obstacles to reform in the security sector in Bangladesh.

| Summary/Abstract |
Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, Bangladesh and China have developed robust bilateral cooperation based on mutual trust and interests. The most inspiring feature of Sino-Bangladesh relationship is its relative stability and continuity. Nevertheless, the trade deficit between the two countries has been a key concern for Bangladesh. From a different perspective, the Indian apprehension about the growing Sino-Bangladesh cooperation also worries Bangladesh. Bangladesh's efforts to promote relations with China are viewed by some Indians as unsettling for Indian interests in this region. Such apprehensions may put a kind of psychological pressure on Bangladesh to follow a cautious approach while dealing with China. This paper argues that both China and Bangladesh need to work together to implement various strategies to reduce the existing trade gap. It also argues that Bangladesh should not pursue any policy for promoting its friendly relations with India at the cost of its relations with China and vice versa. It is in this backdrop, this paper attempts to explore the existing Sino-Bangladesh bilateral relations, potential areas for further cooperation and also the Indian perceptions of the relations.
