Delivering public services to the satisfaction of the citizen is an important challenge confronted by democratic governments everywhere in the modern world. Unlike authoritarian rulers who may conveniently ignore public opinion, democratic governments can do it at their peril. As a natural rule, they have to be responsive to legitimate claims and demands of their citizen.
It is, however, now widely recognized that the government alone cannot make available different kinds of services that people may need.

Never in the history of human civilization has the veil, hijab or purdah become so much of a contentious issue. At the root of the contention, however, it has always been politics. This volume mainly focuses on South Asia, where the veiling of women has been a part of its age-old civilization, indeed, more as a marker of civility and not always from the standpoint of masculinity.

This book is a collection of eleven critical essays covering some of the implications of neoliberal development in Bangladesh. One of the major themes of this book is how the paradigm of neoliberalism, with its sole focus on free market, has transformed the very nature of the state. For the neoliberal states, market is both the ends and means of social wellbeing. While this ‘market-directed’ development approach can ensure certain levels of economic growth, it also brings out degrading quality of life, ecology and political governance.

এক লক্ষ বছর আগে, অন্তত ছয়টি মানবপ্রজাতি পৃথিবীতে বসবাস করতো। বর্তমানে বাস করে মাত্র একটি। আমরা। হোমো স্যাপিয়েন্স-রা। আধিপত্যের লড়াইয়ে আমাদের প্রজাতি কীভাবে সফল হলো? কেন আমাদের শিকারী-সংগ্রাহক পূর্বপুরুষেরা একত্রিত হয়ে শহর এবং রাজ্য গড়ে তুললো? কীভাবে আমরা দেব-দেবী, জাতি, এবং মানবাধিকারে বিশ্বাসী হলাম? কীভাবে টাকা-কড়ি, বই-পত্র, এবং আইন-কানুনে আস্থাশীল হলাম? কীভাবে আমলাতন্ত্র, সময়সূচী আর ভোগবাদের দাসত্ব বরণ করে নিলাম?

গ্রামের একাত্তর ইতিহাসকে স্মৃতিবদ্ধ করার নতুন ধরনের একটি প্রকল্প। মূলধারার ইতিহাস চর্চা অনেক বেশি দলিলপত্র নির্ভর, গ্রাম সেখানে নিতান্তই প্রান্তিক। অথচ সিংহভাগ মানুষ ছিলেন গ্রামেরই বাসিন্দা, শহর থেকেও বিপুল মানুষ আশ্রয় নিয়েছিলেন গ্রামে। আফসান চৌধুরী সম্পাদিত গ্রামের একাত্তর গ্রন্থে গ্রামজীবনের আলেখ্যগুলোকেই কেন্দ্রীয় পটভূমি হিসেবে ধরার চেষ্টা করা হয়েছে। আর এই ইতিহাস চর্চার মূল উপাদান মানুষের স্মৃতি।
একাত্তরের চরম পরিস্থিতি মানুষের অন্তর্গত চরমতম প্রবণতাগুলিকেও প্রবল করেছিল। মানুষ যেমন ভিনদেশী শত্রুর মুখোমুখি হয়েছে, তেমনি মুখোমুখি হয়েছে তার চিরচেনা প্রতিবেশীরও। স

In this book, Professor Islam examines the quest of Bangladesh for transition from its violent past to the peaceful future through judicial trials of atrocities committed during its liberation war in 1971. These international crimes trials, held under a domestic legislation, are uniquely distinct from international or hybrid international crimes trials. The book is a ground-breaking research work on the first ever such trials in the ICC era.
