Reviews

“The main strength of the book lies in its detailed discussion on the historical–institutional roots of the working of Bangladesh’s parliamentary democracy. … This thought-provoking study offers invaluable insights and suggestions for policymakers. It is an essential reading for scholars of legislative studies and Bangladesh politics. The comparisons of the functioning of the Bangladeshi Parliament with other Westminster systems provide further insights to policymakers, scholars and students.” (Saleh Shahriar, South Asia Research, Vol. 39 (3), 2019)
