Whither National Security Bangladesh 2007

Against a year of political flux, this review analyzes how Bangladesh’s security calculus evolved in 2007. It documents the security implications of governance transitions, the status of militant networks and criminal syndicates, and the adequacy of legal frameworks and operational capabilities. Economic and social chapters consider inflationary pressures, power supply instability, and their knock-on effects on livelihoods and public order. The volume pays special attention to coastal and riverine vulnerabilities, border frictions, and the institutional state of disaster management coming out of severe weather events. It highlights advances in inter-agency coordination, transparency initiatives, and international cooperation, while underscoring continuing bottlenecks in investigations, prosecution, and asset recovery. By integrating traditional and human-security lenses, the review argues for patient institution-building that delivers predictability to citizens and investors alike.
