Exploring the socio-economic vulnerability model
Human trafficking remains a pervasive global problem, with women being disproportionately vulnerable due to intersecting socioeconomic and gendered inequalities. While scholars have examined trafficking drivers, a comprehensive account of how these factors interact is limited. This study addresses this gap by investigating the root causes of women’s trafficking in Bangladesh using a multi-stakeholder qualitative approach. It departs from dominant…

Problematizing Human Capital Development in English Language Education in Bangladesh
This article draws on a framework based on Bernstein’s three-message systems of schooling and Ball’s notion of policy cycle to examine how the human capital development goal incorporated into the Bangladesh secondary English curriculum has been translated into pedagogy and assessment practices. Data were collected from classroom observations and teacher and principal interviews and document analysis. Findings indicate that while the curriculum ha…
Service Delivery and Accountability of Urban Officials
This study compares the state of city government service delivery for communities living in different areas with different level of affluence in Rajshahi City in Bangladesh. Based on the results of a qualitative study, we found a significant service disparity between the affluent and the poor communities. This disparity is due to the inability of the poor to hold service providers accountable, attributable to a lack of knowledge about services an…
Patron Client Relationships and a Right to the City
We highlight how the intentions of a government to improve services and transparency across a city, by providing an enhanced right to the city for the urban poor can be futile when political gatekeeping is not relinquished at the grassroots level and the poor are not mobilised and educated about their rights. A qualitative case study of poor informal settlements was conducted in Rajshahi Bangladesh, to investigate a greater right to the city as t…
South-South Migration
Economic globalization contributes not only to advancing commodity trade but it has also brought a major shift in the flow of workers from labour abundant to labour scarce nations. According to the UN, transnational migrants (persons working outside their country of birth) constituted approximately 232 million in 2013 from all over the world (Baruah 2014). Almost one-third of these migrants originate from Asian developing nations. The destination…
The humanitarian imperative for education in disaster response
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present an argument showing the importance of education as a disaster response activity, and why it must figure more prominently in financial and material support for humanitarian disasters. Design/methodology/approach A critical review of the literature and case studies that have considered humanitarian response activities is carried out, drawing together conclusions on the varied impacts of Education in E…
Remedying Africa's Self-propelled Corruption
This paper analyses mechanisms and circumstances that facilitate and mitigate against corruption in African countries. We focus on governance indicators that strongly correlate with corruption and suggest that this phenomenon in Africa results from poor democratic practice enabled by asymmetrical concentration of power in governments and the rise of alliances between elites and corporate interests within neo-liberal economic systems. Countries wi…
Putting ‘Good Society’ Ahead of Growth and/or ‘Development’
With the rise of neoliberalism, a corporate‐dominated state‐assisted deregulated growth strategy, which has caught most countries in the throes of what can be termed a ‘growth trap’, has indeed yielded significant economic gains for many but has also entailed inexorable social, moral and environmental adversities. This paper argues that the reason we experience the incongruities between economic growth and social nourishing is the fact that we tr…
Can microcredit worsen poverty? Cases of exacerbated poverty in Bangladesh
Worldwide, microcredit has been recognised as a successful innovation in poverty alleviation. However, some claim that microcredit exacerbates poverty in developing countries. This study examines cases in Bangladesh where microcredit has actually worsened poverty among borrowers and investigates the underlying reasons for this adverse trend. Our results show that microcredit can exacerbate poverty in four interrelated circumstances. We argue that…
Climate Change Vulnerabilities of South Asia and Future Options
Until recently, lobbied by the multinationals and led by the USA, especially by the Bush administration, the vulnerabilities of climate change have either been ignored or paid lip service to. This is because those who pollute are the rich and stand to suffer profit losses, reduction of standard of living (reduction of a superfluous lifestyle, that is) if climate change initiatives are put in place and thus resist change and indeed, get away with …
Community-based environmental management in a megacity
Evaluation Capacity Building
Most developing countries now have monitoring and evaluation systems in place. However, most systems are concerned with the progress of implementation, rather than assessing the social, economic and environmental impacts of projects. Also, there seem to be no systems that assess the impact of policy interventions emerging from recent macro-level measures, such as liberalization, privatization, and the preservation of women's rights. In developing…
Management of Calcutta megacity
Until very recently urban management in Calcutta has been curative, reactive or ad hoc in nature, and the major contributor to its own problems. The holistic and proactive approach adopted, since the 1980s, by both the city government of Calcutta and the government of West Bengal have, significantly, helped to ameliorate some of these problems. The reform measures in the rural economic sector, land tenancy and rural local government systems contr…
