To begin, what strategic and economic implications does the Sino-Indian conflict have? Second, what are the global and regional trends in Sino-India conflict in the future? Even though there is a lot of literature on Sino-Indian ties and conflict, there’s much less academic concentration on the implications of Sino-Indian conflict, especially in the hard power dimension. The paper observes that in international and regional affairs, the Sino-Indian competition is not a new phenomenon. The dispute between India and China has posed significant geostrategic challenges to regional peace and security in Asia in recent years. The paper further points out that the geopolitical rivalry between India and China would likely enhance China's naval presence in the Indian Ocean region to challenge India and its western allies. In terms of the economic dimension, India and its western allies, such as the United States and Japan, can develop new supply chains in IOR in order to diminish China's reliance. It argues that while the future of the Sino-Indian conflict may bring great competition rather than cooperation, the reality of the economic system and transnational developments may enable India and China to expand their economic collaboration.","PeriodicalId":119664,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Bangladesh and Global Affairs","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126646894","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

What criteria did Bangladesh fulfil to reckon with as a climate leader? Is such iteration self-proclaimed rhetoric, or can it be supported by theoretical and empirical findings? This article investigates these questions by adopting a leadership framework and scrutinizing Bangladesh's role in climate change adaptation, mitigation, negotiation, and knowledge creation. This article reveals that Bangladesh is now acting as an emerging climate leader in the global climate arena. Bangladesh provides unilateral leadership in climate issues through establishing 'good examples' in inspiring others to follow the pathway by drafting multiple domestic climate policies such as the National Adaptation Program of Action (NAPA), Climate Change Trust Fund, Mujib Climate Prosperity Plan, etc. In addition, Bangladesh assists other climate-vulnerable countries by sharing ideas, knowledge, practice and invention in climate change adaptation, mitigation, and resilience and acts as an intellectual leader. Finally, in climate change negotiations, Bangladesh performs as a problem-solving leader on behalf of the Least Developed Countries. Bangladesh's image as a robust actor with a timely response to climate issues turns it into a legitimate voice on global platforms. Therefore, this article concludes that calling Bangladesh a climate leader is not rhetoric as it shows robust performance in several leadership modes to solve this global collective action problem.","PeriodicalId":119664,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Bangladesh and Global Affairs","volume":"71 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123277802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the fastest growing economy, the country focuses more on technological development at present. Although it's a massive challenge for any developing country with no indigenous technology to become a space-faring nation, Bangladesh's vision is very much coming from its recent economic growth. At the moment, none of the states can deny the importance of space technology for economic development, preserving national interest and security. But the deficiency in technological knowledge, skilled resource, innovation or geopolitical constraints, and global and regional geopolitical rivalries which extends to outer space are the key challenges for any country in attaining outer space goals. So, the present study investigates how Bangladesh's inclusion in the club of satellite communication created a new urgency to strengthen space diplomacy? In this context, the paper examines the linkages between space diplomacy, techno-nationalism, and the economic strength of Bangladesh. Furthermore, the present study also addresses the global and regional aspects of outer space politics and explorations. How it affects Bangladesh, how Bangladesh joining the space club opens a new dimension in its foreign policy affairs, and how space technology becomes a hope for Bangladesh to strengthen its economy and achieve sustainable development goals. The study is exploratory in nature based on secondary data. The study concludes that Bangladesh needs internal and external initiatives and policies and firm diplomacy to fulfil its space ambition.","PeriodicalId":119664,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Bangladesh and Global Affairs","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132976288","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over the years, Bangladesh’s armed forces and police had not only carved out space for them as a top T&PCC but also earned a name for itself as a dependable force that delivered the tasks assigned to it. Despite this being a learning experience for the country’s security institutions, Bangladesh has experienced various challenges in missions due to different factors. For example, there are significant transformations in the nature of conflict and mandates of peacekeeping operations, requiring T&PCCs to be prepared for future participation in such missions. Against this backdrop, this paper examines the trends of Bangladeshi peacekeepers to understand their involvement in peace missions and their capacity to address the challenges of contemporary tasks. It also investigates capacity-building issues, skill enhancement, and increasing competency of Bangladeshi peacekeepers. This paper argues Bangladesh needs to comprehend the changing scenario and enhance the capacity of troops and police peacekeepers by undertaking appropriate measures, including tapping into the experience of its returning peacekeepers. Otherwise, the sustainability of Bangladesh’s participation in UN peace support deployments may face severe stress and become problematic.","PeriodicalId":119664,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Bangladesh and Global Affairs","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114866424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

After the war, Bangladesh’s economy was thus in shambles, people were under extreme poverty, and there were new challenges like rapid expansion of population, inadequate reserve, and volatile political environment. That led many to be sceptical about this newly born country’s progress. Bangladesh was termed as a ‘bottomless basket’ and a malevolent ‘test case of development.’ Despite such scepticism, Bangladesh successfully eliminated the ‘international basket case’ tag by making significant improvements in economic and social dimensions. This paper aims to explore the development miracle Bangladesh has achieved over these five decades from the lens of economic diplomacy. Despite having many, authors believe that economic diplomacy has played the most crucial role in its development journey. This study opts for a qualitative approach where available literature and documents are extensively reviewed. This study acknowledges the upcoming challenges Bangladesh will face soon after its graduation and recommends prudent economic diplomatic intervention for continuing its’ prosperity.","PeriodicalId":119664,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of Bangladesh and Global Affairs","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114817521","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
