DWC publishes its first E-Book on National Security Council in Bangladesh
London, UK, July 8, 2008 - Drishtipat Writers’ Collective (DWC), A London based writers’ group on Bangladesh, has published its first e-book on the prospect of National Security Council in Bangladesh titled “The Case Against a National Security Council in Bangladesh”.
As the state of emergency draws to a close and national elections loom, the powers-that-be behind Bangladesh’s Caretaker Government have mooted the necessity of such a council. The collective opines that creating an NSC will not solve Bangladesh’s political problems and would rather make it worse. An NSC will make it more difficult for democratic institutions to develop, and quite possibly, condemn the nation to a generation-long conflict.
A series of articles, published in the print media over the past year, makes the case against an NSC, does comparative analysis with other countries and suggests alternatives. Please distribute link among possible stakeholders and interest groups.
