"The terrorist attack at the heart of America on 11 September 2001 has had a profound impact on the course of world events. 9/11 Called for fresh thinking on devising a new strategy on security and cooperation among nations. There is a call from both governments as well as civil society for cooperative security, since no nation wishes to be the hostage to its nonstate actors. The present volume is the outcome of two workshops attended by a cross section of promising young researchers, eminent scholars, and professionals from Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Nepal and Sri Lanka held in Dhaka in July and September of 2003 under the auspices of the Bangladesh Enterprise Institute (BEI). The volume includes ten chapters in total along with comments of designated discussants. Studies show that deprivation of the legitimate aspirations of people and denial of social justice, discrimination against linguistic and ethnic minorities, prolonged territorial disputes or illegal occupation of territory and control over natural resources become the breeding ground for nonstate actors who resort to violence and acts of terrorism. One way to curb interstate terrorism is by finding solutions to the existing bilateral and regional problems. An active civil society in each country could also play an important complementary role in achieving this goal." (jacket).

Hardcover. Zustand: As New. The third Bangladesh-India dialogue for young leaders reaffirmed the belief that good relations between the neighbours would play a pivotal role in working for a stable and constructive environment in South Asia. The discussion sessions organised by Bangladesh Enterprise Institute (BEI) in January 2006 brought together Journalists, Academics and Members of Parliament from across the political spectrum from both the countries. This volume presents seven thematic papers, each indicative both of current problems and future opportunities between the two countries. The focus was to assess how far there is to go, in re-imaging the national, regional and global forces with which India-Bangladesh cooperation has to be juxtaposed for a genuinely cooperative relationship. The topics covered range from geo-politics of cooperation, the perceptions of foreign policy and the scope for regional and sub-regional policy initiatives, to water sharing and inter river linking to the Indo-Bangladesh border problems and security perceptions. This book will be invaluable for students and scholars of history, politics, and international relations. The volume should be also be of interest to the policy makers and other stakeholders who wish to develop insight into intricate areas of discord between Bangladesh and India and the possible resolutions suggested by the young minds.
