Abstract

Ensuring fairness and justice in Bangladesh’s electoral process has become an increasingly complex institutional challenge. Empirical observations suggest that opportunities for irregularities exist in both paper ballot systems and electronic voting machines (EVMs), including the occupation of polling centres, fraudulent voting, administrative bias, and interference by law enforcement agencies or politically influential groups. These issues have progressively eroded public confidence, reduced voter participation, and undermined the legitimacy of the democratic process. Reports of violence, fatalities, and extensive irregularities in recent elections have further deepened the crisis of trust. Many voters perceive limited opportunity to exercise their suffrage rights freely, while others abstain from voting due to a belief that electoral outcomes are predetermined. This erosion of confidence not only weakens democratic institutions but also affects the overall governance system. Addressing these challenges requires more than administrative reform; it calls for the strategic integration of technological and institutional innovations. Biometric or fingerprint-based voting machines may offer a viable pathway toward reducing fraud and enhancing procedural transparency. However, technology must be embedded within a transparent, accountable, and legally coherent electoral governance framework to effectively rebuild public trust and strengthen the democratic foundation of Bangladesh.

Abstract

This study examines how Bangladesh's foreign policy is shaped by internal political transformation, regional power imbalances, great power competition, and non-traditional security challenges. Using qualitative document analysis — drawing on academic literature, government documents, international organization reports, and credible news sources (with emphasis on 2024–July 2026) — the study applies small-state hedging, liberal institutionalism, and resilience diplomacy frameworks. Five key foreign policy priorities are identified: (1) recalibrating Bangladesh–India relations following the July–August 2024 political shift; (2) a dual-track approach to the Rohingya crisis; (3) preparing for post-LDC graduation trade competition; (4) building resilience in labour, energy, and cyber domains; and (5) leveraging climate vulnerability as diplomatic capital. The central finding is that Bangladesh's core dilemma is not choosing between competing powers, but managing deep interdependence — economic, security, humanitarian, and technological — without sacrificing policy autonomy. The study recommends issue-based diplomacy, diversified external partnerships, strengthened domestic negotiating capacity, and whole-of-government coordination as pathways to converting geopolitical vulnerability into sustainable diplomatic strength.

Abstract

Climate-related disasters in Bangladesh worsen existing socioeconomic and gender inequalities, particularly for women and girls in relief camps who face heightened risks of gender-based violence (GBV). This study aims to examine the vulnerability of women in Bangladesh in the context of climate-induced disasters within camp and shelter environments, employing a qualitative secondary data approach drawn from academic articles, research reports, and relevant policy documents. Through critical review and thematic analysis, findings reveal that women in disaster-affected areas experience physical, psychological, and sexual violence, as well as privacy violations and health vulnerabilities — particularly in overcrowded and poorly resourced shelters. Perpetrators include intimate partners, strangers, and community members. Existing measures such as gender-segregated shelters and community-based protection mechanisms have proven insufficient to ensure adequate protection. The study concludes that climate-related disasters tend to deepen gender inequalities and increase women's vulnerability to GBV, highlighting the urgent need for holistic, gender-sensitive, and long-term interventions to strengthen protection, privacy, health services, and safety for women in post-disaster settings in Bangladesh.
