This book focuses on the modernization of Bangladesh. It does so by including case studies at the national and sub-national government levels and comparative studies with other countries. Chapters in the book highlight how a number of aspects have been affected in the modernization process, such as the adoption of ‘western’ curriculum and English language in schools, the use of animation to boost school student comprehension of texts, the rural–urban divide, pedagogical training to emergent andragogy-dependent market needs, converting ‘local ’ shipping experiences to fill growing ‘global ’ needs, and multilateral environmental adaptation and mitigation mandates being adopted ‘locally.’ Imtiaz A. Hussain was Founder of Global Studies & Governance Department at Independent University, Bangladesh (since 2016) and Professor (Philadelphia University/Universidad Iberoamericana, 1990-2014), creating/teaching wide- ranging International Relations/Global Studies/Governance courses, evident in his books ( Multifaceted Development; Branding Bangladesh; Coronavirus Pandemic & Online Education; Rohingya Camp Narratives: Tales From the ‘Lesser Roads’ ; Local-Global tradeoffs, Order-disorder Consequences: “State” no more an Island?; South Asia in Global Power Rivalry ;Transatlantic Transactions; North American Regionalism ; E valuating NAFTA; Border Governance and the ‘Unruly’ South ; and Afghanistan-Iraq and Post-conflict Governance) ; scholarly articles (in Journal of International Relation; Encyclopedia of U.S.-Latin American Relations ; Handbook of Global Security and Intelligence ; South Asian Survey ; Politics & Policy ; Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh; Norteamérica; and media outlets in Dhaka’s Daily Star, Dhaka Tribune and Financial Express newspapers.

Les rencontres annuelles "Agriculture et mondialisation" ont pour objectif de faire progresser la réflexion collective sur l'avenir des politiques agricoles et de faire émerger des propositions acceptables par toutes les parties en Europe. Ces quatrièmes rencontres, réunies à la veille de la sixième conférence ministérielle de l'Organisation Mondiale du Commerce (OMC) à Hong-Kong en décembre 2015, ont été consacrées à l'examen des conditions d'accès au marché pour les produits agricoles et agroalimentaires, enjeu considérable pour les pays en développement avec la question des subventions aux exportations. La libéralisation des marchés agricoles a été surtout envisagée jusqu'à présent au seul niveau des produits agricoles. Or les conséquences de l'abaissement des tarifs douaniers peuvent se faire sentir sur l'ensemble du complexe agroalimentaire. Pour une bonne appréhension des effets de la mondialisation, il convient donc de replacer au cœur du débat les industries agricoles et alimentaires. Il est également essentiel de tenter d'évaluer les conséquences réelles d'un accord sur l'accès au marché sur l'agriculture des pays membres de l'OMC. Concernant les pays en développement, une érosion des préférences commerciales pourrait résulter d'un élargissement de l'accès au marché des pays développés aux pays émergents agro-exportateurs. Enfin, l'examen plus approfondi d'un accord à l'OMC montre que l'introduction de distorsions réduit de manière importante les gains de bien-être associés à une libéralisation accrue des échanges.

The volume scrutinizes the fundamentally uneven character of industrial production and working class formation by bringing together anthropologists specializing on industrial labour in various locations from South America, Western and Eastern Europe, North Africa, and South Asia. Through their engagement with Leon Trotsky's concept of 'uneven and combined development' the authors unravel the complex relations that connect (and disconnect) labour in their sites of research with workers in other places and other times. As the contributions likewise reveal, the unevenness and combination inherent in industrial developments shape and are at the same time also shaped by the different politics workers in an unequal world pursue, as well as the historical experiences and future expectations of workers that inform these. With the attention the authors pay to the specificities of ethnographic detail as well as to broader regional and global developments the volume demonstrates the value of long-term ethnographic research and is of interest to a wide audience ranging from specialists in the fields of anthropology, history, sociology and development studies to students and activists.
