The blame gameThe international community is also to blame for the current state of affairs. The Department for International Development (DfID) is one such donor, which in turn takes its cue directly from the ministerial cabinet in the UK. So, the international community (or perhaps call it the “UN-international-academic-development-complex”) is also responsible for the current state of affairs. I don’t think that the government actually wants a one-party state system — but they really have no option, currently. Jens Stanislawski works as an adviser to various development partners in Bangladesh and is the Managing Director of Research and Action for Development (ReAD).
