This study addresses a central paradox in public administration with particular relevance for Public Administration and Development scholarship: why does citizen trust in subnational governments often remain resilient despite chronic systemic failure? Theoretically, we expand this scholarship in three important ways. To begin with, earlier studies have recorded that informal practices persist despite the decentralisation of governance. We specify…

Nested Feminisms
This paper investigates the interplay between institutional frameworks and women's political participation through a comparative study of local government in Australia and Bangladesh. While Australia exemplifies professionalized inclusion through female quotas, formal mentoring programs, and bureaucratic processes, Bangladesh illustrates how grassroots movements navigate entrenched patriarchal exclusion. The study demonstrates that radical resist…
Empowering women in politics through institutional engagement
The transforming influence of women's development forums (WDFs) in promoting women's political empowerment and involvement in local government in Bangladesh is investigated in this article. Using qualitative and quantitative data, the study investigates how WDFs encourage knowledge, agency, and collaborative action among elected women representatives based on feminist theory and gender mainstreaming frameworks. Studies show that WDFs enable women…

The main objectives are twofold: first, to explore how Bangladesh has achieved economic growth despite lacking democratic governance, and second, to assess the contradiction between democracy and development in developing nations. Employing a theoretical framework that views democracy and democratic go…
Does Implementation of ’Citizen’s Charter Make Any Difference in Service Delivery? Comparing the Performance of Local Councils between Plain and Hilly Areas—A Case of Bangladesh
This paper compares the impact of citizen’s charters in delivering services by Union Parishads in Bangladesh in Bengali-majority and tribal areas. Using a qualitative research method, the case study was used to look at CC implementation in a comprehensive and in-depth way. Interview and observation methods were employed to collect data. One hundred interviewees from each union, including service providers, service users, and LG officials, were co…
GO–NGO Teamwork for Strengthening Local Governance
Local governance has come into the centre of discourses after phenomenal shifts in functions, roles, and governing process of the central government. The increasing burden of the central government due to multidimensional challenges of modernisation and globalisation has necessitated the strengthening of local government organisations (GOs) through decentralisation of power. However, in most cases, the central government has retained the power to…
Making innovations work
This article reports on a local government–NGO partnership in rural Bangladesh. The findings suggest that BRAC’s Strengthening Local Governance initiative, through partnership with Union Parishads (the lowest tier of the existing local government structure), has been successful in strengthening the governance of Union Parishads by changing the mindsets of Union Parishad officials through building their capacity and mobilising people in the commun…
Women's Empowerment in South Asia
Economic development in the poorest countries often makes better progress when women become involved in, and take a lead in, development projects. Encouraging women’s involvement, however, is often a major difficulty in societies where traditionally women’s status has been inferior and where women are expected to be domestic and passive. This book, based on extensive original research, considers major projects undertaken by non-governmental organ…
NGOs in Local Governance in Bangladesh
In the last decade, local governance has emerged as one of the most significant issues in development discussion. NGOs and international agencies have placed themselves in a strategic position to focus on this subject in the recent times. They are now more involved in capacitating local government institutions (LGIs) and the local community to understand roles and responsibilities and act effectively towards responsive and participatory governanc…
Mainstreaming Gender in Politics in Bangladesh
Gender mainstreaming’ has been regarded as one of the strongest approaches to deal with the issue of equality policy for women. In order to mainstream women in the political process, a number of NGOs have been carrying out different programs in Bangladesh for building awareness among women so that they could opt for participation in the political process. The paper analyzes the role of NGOs in the process of mainstreaming gender in politics in Ba…
Good Governance at the Grass-roots
Considering the importance of good governance, the article explores the governance situation of the lowest local government tier (Union Parishad) in Bangladesh. Through the application of four good governance indicators—leadership, people’s participation, transparency and accountability and equity—the expectation is that the findings would add a new dimension to the existing knowledge of local governance. Based on empirical data collected from th…
Conflict in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh
This article analyzes the dynamics of the conflict in the Chittagong Hill Tracts region of Bangladesh. This study argues that violations of human rights by law enforcement agencies and Bangali settlers against indigenous people continue even after the signing of the 1997 peace accord. Furthermore, peace remains elusive because of the "top-down" nature of that accord
The extent of adequacies of poverty alleviation strategies
The main concern of the present paper is to examine the adequacies of the urban poverty alleviation strategies of the Hong Kong and China governments. It has been found that the Comprehensive Social Security Allowance and the Minimum Living Standard Scheme or Dibao are the main strategies adopted by both the governments towards alleviation of urban poverty. The available data substantiates that the Comprehensive Social Security Allowance is targe…
The Elusive Peace Accord in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh and the Plight of the Indigenous People
The Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord, signed in 1997, promised to end a long-standing armed conflict and grant a host of benefits to the indigenous people occupying the south-eastern region of Bangladesh. After a decade the accord has yet to bear fruit; it remains unimplemented and the suffering, misery, subordination, and exploitation of the indigenous people continue. Our study reveals that the accord has failed to protect the indigenous com…
The Development of the Urban Government System in Bangladesh

The paper is based on a review of secondary literature as well as on primary data drawn from a case study on a city corporat…
Representation without Participation
This article explores the state of women's participation in the political process in Bangladesh. Available data substantiates that women's organizations, donors, and nongovernmental organizations have influenced the government of Bangladesh to introduce quotas for women. Although quotas have increased the total number of women in political arenas, their representation in the decision-making process has not yet been ensured. They still face severa…

The main focus of this article is to examinee the extent to which VDCs are able to solve the WatSan problems to get rid of waterborne disea…
Remitting Money to Bangladesh
This paper looks into the remittance channels used by Bangladeshi labor migrants in Hong Kong and Malaysia and examines the reasons why they prefer particular modes of money transfer. Data were collected from 126 respondents (56 in Hong Kong and 70 in Malaysia) through a survey conducted during June 2004 to October 2005. An overwhelming majority of migrants preferred unofficial over official channels in transferring money. According to migrants, …
Issues in implementation of public policies
Bangladesh had been passing through a crisis, acute and unprecedented, for a considerable time. Lawlessness, misadministration, corruption at every level and smuggling had brought the country to the brink of the abyss. It was not possible for the police to restore law and order in the country for a number of reasons, one among which was that a section of them are extremely corrupt and reportedly connive in giving shelter to violent terrorists, dr…
