The book focused on contemporary politics and governance, its crisis, issues, and challenges. As an independent state, Bangladesh started its' journey as a constitutional, secular, democratic, multiparty, parliamentary republic. Though, Bangladesh currently has some elements of democracy, for instance: a multiparty party form of government, periodic elections, a vibrant civil society, a growing bourgeoisie, digitalization of access to information, citizen charter, and community empowerment programs.

This is a reference and academic book.
