Over the years, scholars have agreed that good governance shapes the
development trends irrespective of the nature of the country. This is
more so the case for developing countries. With all the challenges that
these poor countries encounter, only good governance can ensure smooth
transition from underdevelopment to development. In this anthology, the
contributors have attempted to explore various issues of politics and
public administration of Bangladesh from governance perspective.
Primarily divided into three segments, the authors in the first part
analyzed the concept of governance from multi-disciplinary perspective.
The second part sets the tone of the volume by focusing solely on
Bangladesh and looks at the reform processes and governance challenges.
The final part is sectoral analysis of governance and sheds light on
various issues of politics and public administration including
corruption, civil society, electronic governance and public sector. The
book is an absolute necessity for those who are not only interested in
Bangladesh but also in understanding the dynamics of governance
challenges in developing countries.
