Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Bangladesh by Ali Riaz
In the past decade, Bangladesh has achieved significant social and economic progress. Despite high population density, a limited natural-resource base, underdeveloped infrastructure, frequent natural disasters and political uncertainty, the country has recorded positive developments in terms of broad economic and social indicators."The book is a proud recounting of achievements, as well as an attempt to present the difficulties, with all their complexities, that the country has facedThis has been done with great attention to brevity and clarity. This book will be a standard reference work on Bangladesh for years to come, and a necessary addition to any collection on the region in general and on Bangladesh. Bangladesh as a 'test case for development' offers useful insights for other 'less developed' countries and their donors."
