Abstract

Student politics has long been an integral part of Bangladesh’s political landscape, profoundly shaping the nation’s political culture. This paper investigates the role of student politics in shaping the political culture of Bangladesh, focusing on recent trends. Historically, student movements have been powerful catalysts for socio-political change, from the Language Movement of 1952 to the Liberation War of 1971. However, the contemporary landscape of student politics has shifted towards partisanship and career-driven motives, often fostering campus violence and undermining democratic values. Using a qualitative methodology, including a review of literature and data analysis from secondary sources, this study aims to analyze the interplay between student politics and political culture. The findings reveal student politics' constructive and destructive impacts on Bangladesh’s socio-political framework. The study concludes with recommendations for reform to realign student politics with its democratic potential.

Abstract

In the era of information saturation and hybrid warfare, narrative warfare has emerged as a potent psychological tool in shaping perceptions, influencing behaviours, and manipulating geopolitical outcomes. This qualitative research explores how states and non-state actors deploy narrative warfare to assert ideological dominance, undermine adversaries, and control public consciousness. Drawing on primary and secondary sources-ranging from state propaganda, disinformation campaigns, and digital storytelling-the paper investigates the use of curated narratives in recent geopolitical conflicts, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, China’s global media expansion, and the U.S. information operations in the Middle East. Using a constructivist framework and thematic analysis, this study reveals the mechanisms through which narratives alter belief systems, foster nationalistic sentiments, and polarize global discourse. Key themes include the weaponization of history, emotional appeal, enemy construction, and mythmaking. The paper argues that narrative warfare represents a subtle yet powerful extension of psychological influence, where control over meaning becomes as critical as control over territory. Ultimately, the research underscores the urgent need for geopolitical literacy, media resilience, and counter-narrative strategies in an increasingly narrative-driven global order.
