State-making, Violence, and Political Muscle: Bangladesh as Polycratic State</span></h3> <h4><span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms', geneva, sans-serif;"><strong>Abstract:</strong></span></h4> <p>The paper traces phases in forms of political violence in Bangladesh from Independence in 1971 till today. The material focuses on Barisal in the south of the country. The paper suggests four phases, viz. 1. Violent political opposition; 2. Cooptation; 3. Violence as a tool of political rivalry; and 4. Violence and overlapping authorities. The paper argues that violence has been harnessed in ways that have significantly contributed to the making of Bangladesh as a unitary state while also influencing the state鈥檚 coherence. In particular, it is argued that the authority of local political leaders in collaboration with the increasingly strong state apparatus has created a situation of polyarchy, of a severality of overlapping political authorities.</p> </div> </div> </div>        <div class="tzpost-pagenavi"> <a href="https://bd50.cpd.org.bd/islamist-politics-in-bangladesh-the-nature-scope-and-the-pathway/" rel="prev"><i class="fa fa-long-arrow-left"></i><span>previous post</span></a> <a href="https://bd50.cpd.org.bd/bangladesh-transitioning-from-ldc-to-post-ldc-future/" rel="next"><span>next post</span><i class="fa fa-long-arrow-right"></i></a> </div>  </div> </div> </section> <footer class="tz-footer tz-footer-type1"> <div class="tz-backtotop tz-backtotop-icon tz-scrolling_back_top effect_enabled position_right"> <i class="fa fa-angle-up" aria-hidden="true"></i> </div> <div class="tzcopyright"> <div class="tz_footer_social_network"> <ul> <li> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.facebook.com/cpd.org.bd"><i class="fa fa-facebook"></i></a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/cpdbd"><i class="fa fa-twitter"></i></a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/centre-for-policy-dialague-cpd-?trk=mini-profile"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i></a> </li> <li> <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/user/CPDBangladesh"><i class="fa fa-youtube"></i></a> </li> </ul> </div> <p>Copyright 漏 2021 <a href="https://cpd.org.bd/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Centre for Policy Dialogue (CPD)</a>.
