Making Meaning Together – New approaches to Governance and Community in Modern Democracies

Abstract

Social, economic, educational and infrastructure development programs in Bangladesh, including national and international aid and grants, currently focus on the agenda of ‘poverty alleviation’. However, they are not performing as expected – social degradation, poverty elevation, high rate of population growth with lower rate of intellectual growth, and mal-development are clearly on the increase. Environmental degradation, including floods, droughts, desertification and biodiversity depletion, is also increasingly taking place.This is legacy content. It is provided as a reference source only.
