Elections and Democracy in Bangladesh

Md. Abdul Mannan


Elections produce and promote democracy. In this book, this hypothesis has been tested in the context of Bangladesh. For this purpose, all the national elections held in post-independent Bangladesh have been studied intensively and assessments have been made about democratic promotions through these elections. Here it has been concluded that not all elections, but only those that are participative and competitive in nature produce and promote democracy. From democratic point of view, elections held under non-partisan caretaker governments have appeared more meaningful than those held under party governments.
