MISSION To Educate and Train Selected Senior Armed Forces and Civil Services Officers at Operational and Strategic Level of National Security and Development. To Focus on Long Term National Security and Development Issues and Suggest Appropriate National Response. To Support the National Agencies in Policy Making on Security and Development Matters. To Support the Armed Forces on Strategic and Operational Level Planning of Warfare. To Strengthen Civil-Military Relation in Bangladesh. To Strengthen Military to Military Cooperation in the Region and Beyond. V FOREWARD Tenth year into our ongoing quest for better understanding of development and security, the National Defence College, Bangladesh is constantly striving to offer a pragmatic and time-befitting academic curricula to the potential policy planners, leaders and strategic thinkers of the future. In the ever changing perspective of its internal and external dynamics, Bangladesh has to constantly adjust and align its policy perceptions to keep up with the globalized world yet meeting the challenges of a developing small state within the South Asian geo-political reality. I firmly believe that our endeavor to constantly review , analyse and assess our security dynamics and search for viable strategy options will contribute to secure our nation and its citizens positively. We clearly see a reflection of that as we notice that the alumni of the College have already begun to make the difference in their respective fields. In this contemporary era development and security are a broad and comprehensive concept. It is no more only traditional security although it is an important pillar of it. It is state, human, environment and trans-state security in one whole. Therefore, insularity within a nation’s geo-political boundary and military power alone can no longer make a state secure. External and international imperatives are too obvious and interlinked and their implications are bound to affect the state, be it large or small, weak or strong. Environmental degradation, syndicated crimes, terrorism and fundamentalism, for example, are issues which obviously have global linkages and therefore can no longer be addressed alone by individual states. Most issues need a concerted understanding by all in the international community and states need to devise their policies and strategies to address these in line with the global policy and strategic framework complementing each other. The National Defence College over the years has been promoting this concept to that end and encouraging free flow of diverse opinions and sharing of ideas through international exposure and international participation. Course Members of 2007, many from eleven overseas countries, shared a common roof here in the College to freely exchange ideas and views to make tomorrows’ world a better place to live. I am happy to note the publication of the 7th issue of NDC journal bears the testimony of our contemporary thinking and attitude. A number of selected research works, of the Course Members of both National Defence Course and Armed Forces War Course, of diverse subjects have been accommodated here. As usual the articles have been condensed from the originals in the interest of space management. Although in some cases it might have, to an extent, told on the quality it will not deprive the readers of the intellectual stimulant offered in the articles. I congratulate the Course Members and the guest contributor for contributing to the Journal. I also compliment the Editorial Board for editing and publishing the Journal on time. I wish that our alumni and the readers find this Journal useful in consolidating their conviction of attaining ‘Security through Knowledge’ and evoking greater understanding and interest of the gamut of development and security. Mohd Aminul Karim, ndc, ldmc, psc Lieutenant General Commandant VI EDITORIAL This volume is the seventh issue of the ‘NDC Journal’. National Defence College has been very regular in bringing out on time its publication every year. This happens just before the scheduled departure of NDC to foreign countries on a study tour. This speaks highly of the laborious effort and genuine commitment on the part of both the editorial staff and writers. For writers, it is a difficult task to shorten lengthy papers under strict conditions set upon them for publication. The selected ones which appear in the NDC journal are the abridged version of their long research papers. While research papers are usually of 12000 -15000 words, the abridged versions are of 5000 -6000 words. To shorten the length of a research work by more than a half, and still be able to maintain its original quality so that it is selected for publication in a reputed journal requires high degree of writing and mental skills. For the editorial staff, the task is even more challenging and daunting. This year, the total output in research work from both National Defence and Armed Forces War courses was about close to seventy individual research papers. To select only ten of them demanded consensus based on serious examination of these papers on the part of the editorial staff. Two other

  • The Internationalisation of Bangladeshi Military Intervention in 2007
    The Internationalisation Of Bangladeshi Military Intervention In 2007 By M Mukhlesur Rahman Chowdhury 17 November, 2014 Countercurrents.org International relations have major role in governing different countries, particularly, in this era of globalisation. It is more evident in developing countries’ politics. Moreover, extra-constitutional government needs special support and attention from foreign powers for its legitimacy. Bangladesh witnessed military-backed government’s parley to gain international support during its tenure of 2007-08 period. The military rule contacted relevant international powerful quarters in order to receive their supports. Appointment of Dr. Fakhruddin Ahmed as the head of the government was nothing but first signal of military administration to show that they have international connections. On the one hand the military’s priority was Dr. Muhammad Yunus, and on the other hand, Yunus’s choice was different. He was more interested to be the head of the state or the President of the country. Instead of joining as head of the government or Chief Adviser during the army-backed regime Yunus made his all out efforts to start with a journey for his new political front ‘Nagarik Shakti’. However, that move has failed as people went against the military’s anti-political behaviour. Role of PR in UN Initially, Permanent Representative of Bangladesh in United Nations Dr. Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury was aspirant for the position of the Chief Adviser. After completion of his regular appointment in the United Nations as Permanent Representative, Iftekhar was discharging his contractual assignment in the same position in New York. In fact, he was the unofficial adviser of Army Chief Moeen Uddin Ahmed prior to 11 January 2007 military coup.
