Governance crisis in Bangladesh
Shamsul Alam Monir, Dept. of Public Admin, University of Dhaka
Nowadays a much talked about phrase, 'good governance' is being discussed in the Third World countries like Bangladesh.Donor agencies and countries have been emphasising this in their prescription for development. Bangladesh, a politically unstable country, is really facing governance crisis causing it to slide down the human development index (HDI). As a result, our country remains underdeveloped. Our successive governments neither implemented the donors' suggestions nor developed effective policies to administer the country in a proper manner. I suppose the pattern of governance by which we are governed, should be termed as 'BNP/Awami League style of governance'. People have become frustrated. It seems to me that our political leaders always try to make our country rich by the style of their own. My query to them: is it good or bad?
