Abstract

The political landscape of Bangladesh presents a complex tapestry of progress and challenges regarding women's representation. This study aims to identify the status of women in the top political and administrative arena of Bangladesh and shed light on the factors that are responsible for such positions. The study employed an exploratory research design, utilizing a phenomenological research approach. The study followed the purposive sampling technique to collect 13 respondents, including members of parliament, cabinet members, local government representatives, and different political party members. The findings of the study depict that women's representation in the parliament and cabinet remains insignificant in making substantive decisions. Cultural and social structural barriers, muscle politics, and reluctance to adopt change by top political leadership are considered the main barriers in this regard. This research represents a distinctive addition to the interdisciplinary fields of gender studies and political science in Bangladesh, employing both primary and secondary data to arrive at a clear and definitive conclusion regarding the subject matter under investigation.

Abstract

This study assesses the degree to what extent civil society organizations (CSOs) can make the local governments decision-making more inclusive and participatory to meet the demands of citizens at the grassroots in Bangladesh. The study specifically explores the role of CSOs in mobilizing public engagement and affecting decision-making to promote participatory governance at the Jhilongjha union parishad, the lowest tier of local government, in Bangladesh. By utilizing qualitative research approach, this paper reveals that the CSOs are not very instrumental in establishing participatory governance in the study location. The participatory avenues at the grassroots like village court, ward meetings, and open budgeting are found to be running without expected level of peoples participation. The reasons behind the CSOs failure in promoting participatory local governance in this context include high power distance culture, adverse political environment, lack of education among citizens, and distrust among the citizens regarding local government.
