Abstract

Purpose: The accountability of public officials is a cornerstone of democratic systems; however, citizens often struggle to oversee delegated authorities effectively because of population growth and governance complexity. This study proposes a mobile application designed to bridge this gap by enabling direct citizen engagement, real-time oversight, and transparency through an autonomous accountability committee. Methods: This theoretical study employed a qualitative, hypothesis-driven approach that integrated governance principles, technological feasibility assessments, and comparative analyses. Results: The proposed framework enables structured citizen participation in accountability processes through features such as complaint submission, voting, data audits, oversight, and investigative reporting. By aligning governance processes with democratic principles, the system fosters transparency, trust, and public administration responsibility. Conclusion: The framework for an accountability mobile application leverages technology to improve transparency, citizen engagement, and government oversight. It addresses inefficiencies in traditional systems while overcoming challenges such as data security and legal recognition. Compared with existing digital tools, this system offers stronger engagement and enforcement. Future research should focus on pilot implementations to assess their impact on governance and public trust. Limitations: As the research is entirely theoretical, practical challenges such as government adoption, cyber security risks, legal compliance, and technological scalability remain untested. The feasibility of implementation depends on institutional cooperation and regulatory adaptation. Contributions: This research advances the discourse on democratic oversight, digital accountability, and citizen empowerment in public administration. Key features include AI monitoring, blockchain security, decentralized participation, and technology-based digital mechanisms, along with existing methods to ensure an effective accountability system.

Abstract

The increase in student politics helps students gain leadership power and become aware.  However, university campuses are being contaminated with violence, party interests, personal benefits, and more. Student politics has both negative and positive impacts on society. This study, which is based on primary data gathered from 100 respondents at the University of Rajshahi, aims to examine the role of student politics in Bangladesh from July 2024 to date, to know people’s opinion about student politics, to assess the impact of student politics on academic and governance activities, and to identify the positive and negative aspects of student politics. A purposive sampling method was used. The study shows two sides of the coin on students’ politics: On one side of the coin, it makes the student leader politically aware. However, it hampers the normal functioning of educational institutions, creating administrative problems, violence, and many more. The researchers have offered some practical recommendations for reform at the end of the study for student politics to uphold a positive role in democracy and institutions, and the significance of democratization, transparency, and accountability.

Abstract

From monarchs and presidents to supreme religious leaders, the architecture of power varies—but its essence shapes the fate of nations. This study presents a comparative analysis of the government systems of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom. It focuses specifically on the structures and functions of the executive, legislative, and judicial branches in each country. While the USA and UK represent two distinct models of democratic governance—a federal republic and a constitutional monarchy respectively—Iran’s theocratic republic offers a unique blend of religious and political authority. Through a structured examination of institutional design, constitutional principles, and practical dynamics, this research reveals both convergences and contrasts among the three systems. The findings highlight how ideological foundations—secular liberalism in the West and Islamic jurisprudence in Iran—significantly shape institutional behavior and power distribution. The study concludes with reflections on the implications of these differences for governance, accountability, and the rule of law.

Abstract

The term “university” carries a long intellectual, historical, and cultural legacy, yet the criteria for recognizing an institution as a university remain fluid and context-dependent. This study seeks to explore how an institution comes to be regarded as a university by examining the conceptual, historical, structural, and societal determinants that shape this recognition. Drawing on a qualitative and interpretive approach, the paper analyzes classical understandings of the university, traces the evolution of the term, and examines contemporary expectations surrounding higher education institutions. The discussion highlights that the idea of a university extends beyond legal designation; it is rooted in scholarly traditions, academic autonomy, breadth of knowledge, research culture, institutional mission, globalization, and societal perception. The findings reveal that while regulatory standards provide formal recognition, the deeper legitimacy of a university emerges from its ability to cultivate knowledge, uphold intellectual freedom, and contribute meaningfully to society. This conceptual inquiry therefore offers a contextual framework for understanding how institutions attain the identity of a university, and why this identity continues to evolve in response to educational, cultural, and global transformations.

Abstract

This research initiates an inquiry into the perceptions, expectations, and political behavior of first-time voters of Ward No. 30, Rajshahi City Corporation to gauge their role in the democratic process as new entrants in the electoral system. First-time voters provide an insightful view of how youth relate to democracy in Bangladesh. The study uses a structured questionnaire with demographic and issue-based questions to show key concerns at present: unemployment, corruption, and low faith in electoral fairness. It further probes what influences their voting decision—credibility of the candidate, party ideology, or social media and peer influence—and finds that first-time voters have a very sophisticated awareness of politics; they are both enthusiastic and skeptical about such voters who demand accountability with transparent and inclusive governance. The findings show a sophisticated political sensitivity among first-time voters—a mix of zeal and doubt—who weigh much accountability, transparency, and inclusive governance. It is thus concluded that by giving this demographic more political representation and real engagement opportunities, a more participatory and responsive democratic culture can be encouraged.

Abstract

Modernization is the process through which societies transform from traditional structures to modern systems, involving economic, political, social, and cultural change. The military, as one of the most organized and disciplined institutions, often serves as a vehicle for modernization by introducing technological innovations, fostering national unity, developing infrastructure, and promoting education and skills. However, military-led modernization faces challenges, including lack of democratic legitimacy, overcentralization of power, inequality, cultural conflicts, and sustainability issues. This research explores the concept and nature of modernization, examines the role of the military in facilitating societal change, and provides a balanced perspective on the limitations and potential of military-driven modernization. The study highlights that while the military can accelerate modernization, sustainable and inclusive development requires cooperation with civilian institutions and democratic governance.
