Dilemmas and Strategies for Development in Bangladesh

Abstract: Abstract Development, in general usage, implies a high level of affluence, good public and social services, and a satisfactory quality of life. There are diverse views on the processes leading to development. Successive regimes that came to power after the independence of Bangladesh pledged to attain development, and each pursued this goal with vigour. At different stages, there have been claims from these regimes regarding the effectiveness of their strategies and the quick results they have produced. On objective evaluation, however, such claims are found to be baseless, and none of the desired outcomes of development appears to be present in Bangladesh.
