Global Bangladesh

Project Leader: Dina Siddiqi

Spaces of mobility transcending national state boundaries profoundly shape national experience, identities, and possibilities. Bangladesh provides a case study of the continuing global expansion and diversification of locally influential spatial mobilities that condition everyday life for Bangladeshis, inside national boundaries and around the world. Commodity chains, migration, remissions, media, religious and social movements, development regimes, and other mobile forces shape the reality of Bangladesh and of being Bangladeshi; these form subjects for research in this project, led by Dina M. Siddiqi (see her recent essay: “Scandalizing the Supply Chain,” HIMAL, Jan 11, 2022, references). Here is a podcast. Here are government websites explaining why investors should invest in Bangladesh:  https://www.bida.gov.bd/, https://www.bida.gov.bd/land-opportunities, and https://www.beza.gov.bd/ . Here is the planning vision, “The Bangladesh Delta Plan 2100,” https://www.bdp2100kp.gov.bd/
