The number of forcibly displaced people globally has been on the rise in recent years. The refugee crises in the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and South and East Asia are the most notable. Due to such crises, the refugee population has been a key challenge for humanity. It has also put a strain on many refugee-hosting countries as most of the displaced populations are hosted in low and middle-income countries rather than wealthier countries. Force displacement creates challenges for the refugees and the host societies. Displacement and Refugee Issues in South Asia: Uncovering the Contested Realities brings out the cases of forcibly displacement from five South Asian countries: Rohingya in Bangladesh, India and Nepal, Tamils in Sri Lanka, and the Afghan refugees in Afghanistan and Europe. Bulbul Siddiqi and contributors reveal that the refugee population in various South Asian countries have been living with vulnerabilities and uncertainty due to ineffective repatriation and the lack of dignified living conditions in host countries. It requires urgent support and initiatives from global and regional powers and international humanitarian organizations to ensure that the dignified lives of these vulnerable populations in different countries. https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781666933895/Displacement-and-Refugee-Issues-in-South-Asia-Uncovering-the-Contested-Realities#
Auhtor- Dr. Harisur Rahman Publisher- Lexington Books
Decoding Ad Culture: Television Commercials and Broadcast Regulations in Bangladesh critically examines the pervasive influence of Western multinational companies in South Asia, focusing on Bangladesh. Harisur Rahman argues that these corporations exploit cultural differences to execute deceptive advertising in developing countries, a practice curtailed in more regulated developed nations. This book reveals a symbiotic relationship between local and multinational companies, media production houses, and television channels, which, Rahman posits, facilitates this exploitation. Adopting a qualitative methodology, this study delves into social backgrounds, cultural capital, and consumption habits in Bangladesh and utilizes multimodal critical discourse analysis and rhetorical analysis to evaluate television commercials (TVCs). These analyses reveal the propagation of racism, sexism, classism, and patriarchal values through this form, along with a disregard for ethical standards and social responsibilities. Highlighting the disillusionment among Bangladeshi audiences towards advertisers' unmet promises, Rahman contrasts TVC regulations in developing and developed countries. The book concludes with policy recommendations to foster ethical advertising practices against mindless propaganda in Bangladesh, underscoring the need for equity, equality, and inclusivity in advertising standards. https://rowman.com/ISBN/9781666943160/Decoding-Ad-Culture-Television-Commercials-and-Broadcast-Regulations-in-Bangladesh

The economic and social development that Bangladesh has achieved in the past two decades has made Bangladesh a development paradox. This book tries to explain this paradox through a political economy lens. The book explains the linkages between the state, changing society, and emerging private sector, and examines whether the social transformation taking place in Bangladesh has the potential to live up to the expectations of a middle-income country. Bangladesh’s journey from an emerging economy towards a developed country would interest those researching development economics and those in policy-making.

Public Financial Management (PFM) is an applied process that balances and ensures the macroeconomic processes. PFM also assesses the expenditure framework and safeguards the revenue management, accounting, audit, and oversight of public expenditure. The PFM plays a critical role in managing the processes and practices of public resources. In doing so, the countries tend to manage the PFM processes on the basis of their respective systems, laws, and regulatory framework. This book makes a modest attempt to review and assess the PFM system of Bangladesh in terms of structure, process, and institutional concerns. This book attempts to give an overview and concerns of PFM systems in Bangladesh, targeting undergraduate and graduate students as a primary audience.
