BANGLADESH IN THE UNITED NATIONS: PROMOTING PEACE, PARTNERSHIP AND PROACTIVE DIPLOMACY (original) (raw)
2019, Promoters of Peace: The BIPSOT Journal
This paper examines a question on how Bangladesh has promoted its international engagement in the United Nations to ensure shared partnership of stakeholders to sustain development, peace, and security around the world. It is imperative to trace the transformation of the nature of cooperation between the United Nations and the so-called ‘small’ states in the context of the twenty-first century. Bangladesh is considered as a critical case in this paper and it unfolds the patterns of cooperation in three broad areas of intervention—(a) enhancing development goals, (b) promoting peace and security, and (c) ensuring good governance through capacity development. This discussion is informed by evidence that the ‘small’ states are increasingly capable of facilitating functional networks of states and non-state actors that would aim to contribute in promoting multilateralism. In doing so, it conducts a qualitative content analysis of the UN and Government of Bangladesh (GoB) documents to examine the process of cooperation.
