This paper examines these issues in a broader theoretical context, at first place, with specific references to concrete policy cases. These issues have been for long at the core of scientific discourse in the fields of economic geography, regional science and planning theory. In this paper we hope to offer a fresh approach to local development and collaborative planning based upon a critical reflection on existing theoretical models. Key-words: Local endogenous development, territory, planning, participation Elias Kourliouros1 1Corresponding Address: Professor Dr. Elias Kurliouros, Department of Geography, University of the Aegean. E-mail: [email protected] Journal of Regional Socio-Economic Issues, Volume 3, Issue 1, January 2013 7 1. Introductory Remarks Before embarking upon local development and collaborative planning issues, it is necessary to clarify in brief the relations between economic growth and economic development. In spite of the fact that these terms have been broadly discussed in economic literature, there are still commentators and journalists that tend to treat them as identical, obscuring therefore their fundamental differences. More precisely, economic growth refers to quantitative temporal increases of various macro-economic indices of a country or region, such as per capita GDP, fixed capital investment, employment, incomes, consumption, exports and the like. On the other hand, economic development refers not only to quantitative, but also to qualitative aspects of social and economic processes –aspects related to the improvement of the quality of life of the area’s population (Thirlwall 2001, Bowles & Edwards 1996, Kindleberger & Herrick 1982). These qualitative aspects refer to: (a) education, health and social welfare, (b) culture and leisure, (c) housing quality, conditions of the natural and built environment, (d) political empowerment and democratic participation of citizens in public issues, (e) citizens’ sense of security, (f) equity and social cohesion, (g) free access of all citizens to information, public goods and services, and (h) countering of social exclusion and other kinds of inequality based on income differences, gender, race or skin color. In other words economic development is not simply the increase of material wealth of a society, but mostly its “reconstruction” on the basis of higher cultural values; hence the notion of economic development should be conceptualized as identical to that of social and cultural development. Complex indices, such as the Human Development Index (HDI), for example, have replaced the old qualitative ones as more appropriate for an integrated approach to national development issues as well as for comparing the different countries and regions. Some scholars remark that economic development must fulfill the following interrelated goals (Thirlwall 2001): (a) Life-sustenance: This goal is fulfilled when development provides all necessary means for covering the population’s basic needs such as shelter, clothing, food, health and education. 8 Journal of Regional Socio-Economic Issues, Volume 3, Issue 1, January 2013 (b) Self-esteem: This goal is fulfilled when the country’s or region’s citizens maintain a sense of self-respect, which, in turn, depends on the construction of an egalitarian regime in both their mutual relations and their relations with other countries or regions. (c) Freedom: This goal is fulfilled when the emancipation of society from the tree evils (need, ignorance, misery) makes citizens free and capable of making their own decisions. Another group of approaches during the mid 1980s focuses upon the concept of sustainable development. This concept was coined in the so called “Brundtland report” (WCED 1984), according which sustainable development is the kind of development that satisfies the needs of the present generation, without undermining the possibility of future generations to satisfy their own needs. An important point that has to be stressed from the outset, is that an integrated approach to economic development should take into account its inherent spatial dimensions. As Massey (1984) puts it, the social and economic processes cannot take place just “on the head of a pin”, but in concrete territorial scales ranging from the global to the national and regional/local scales, which affect, in turn, the process of development itself. Spread across geographical space and mediated through concrete spatial forms, economic development is therefore expressed geographically as spatial (or territorial) development. This notion includes changes in the spatial distribution of populations and activities, their mutual relations and the ways in which these are expressed in concrete physical forms (e.g. land use, settlement system, technical and social infrastructure, environmental protection zones, and so forth). The notion of development leads to a brief examination of the notion of development

PART- III BENGAL Being a distant province, Bengal had always been a problematic province for the Delhi Sultanate. Though Bengal was annexed to the Delhi Sultanate, a number of times it gained independence. Bengal was the eastern most province of the Delhi Sultanate. Long distance, uncomfortable climate, poor means of transport and communication made it difficult for the Sultans of Delhi to control the province of Bengal. Bakhtiyar Khilji, one of the military commanders of the Muhammad of Ghur was the first Muslim invader who annexed Bengal and Bihar by over throwing the Sena dynasty of Bengal. After his death his successors declared independence. Later Balban, the Sultan of Delhi brought Bengal under the control of Delhi Sultanate and appointed his son Bughra Khan as the Governor of Bengal. But soon after the death of Balban his son declared Bengal as an independence province. In order to solve the problems of the province of Bengal Ghyasuddin Tughlaq divided the Bengal province into three administrative units-Lakhnauti, Satgaon, Sonargaon. The problems of the Bengal province continued after finally Bengal emerged as an independent regional state in the 14th century. The history of Bengal entered a new phase when Haji-Shamsh-ud-din Ilyas khan founded a new dynasty, the Ilyas Shahi dynasty which ruled for around 125 years up to 1538 though in phases. Haji-Shamsh-ud-din Ilyas khan unified the independent kingdom of Bengal. Besides he made incursions into Nepal and Orissa.
  • Identity and Composite Culture : the Bengal Case

    Identity and Composite Culture : the Bengal Case

    Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bangladesh (Hum.), Vol. 58(1), 2013, pp. 1-25 IDENTITY AND COMPOSITE CULTURE : THE BENGAL CASE Sushil Chaudhury* The main thrust of the paper is to examine the evolution of a composite culture in Bengal, and to explain its nature and character, especially from the sixteenth to the eighteenth century which is the period when it evolved and flourished in the region. This exercise is significant even today as the legacy from the past is still vibrant in many parts of the country, Bangladesh or West Bengal. For instance, there was a news report in The Statesman of January 10, 2006 that at a place in rural Bengal, called Maynagar in Tamluk, about 90 kilometers west of Kolkata, a pir’s dargah is looked after by a Hindu trustee and a fair organized by the authorities of a Radhagobinda temple include a Muslim as part of centuries-old tradition.1 Such instances abound in many parts of Bengal even now and there is little doubt that this tradition comes down from several centuries earlier. While talking about the evolution of a composite culture, it is pertinent to see how it was intertwined with the question of identity of Bengali Muslims. The Islamic revitalizing and purificatory movements in Bengal in the nineteenth century laid bare the roots of cleavage and dualism between Bengali Muslim’s cultural position, caught between the opposite pulls of Bengal localism and Islamic extra-territoriality. The said new movements, combined with the changed social and political circumstances of Bengal under the British domination, sharpened the focus, as never before, on the “Islamic” identity of the Bengali believers, with the result that a massive and organized assault on the syncretistic tradition and on the cultural values and norms, necessary to sustain it, followed to which we shall turn later.

While consultation of contemporary sources is called for to reflect upon these key issues, it tends to be under- used by modern historians.

Long Abstract: Common people are often considered as pre-state primitive groups believing only in self- reliance, autonomy, transnationality, migration and ancient trade routes. They seldom form their ancient urbanism, own civilization and Great Traditions. Or they may remain stable on their simple life with fulfillment of psychobiological needs. They are often considered as serious threat to the state instead and ignored by the mainstream. They also believe on identities, race and ethnicity, aboriginality, city state, nation state, microstate and republican confederacies. They could bear both hidden and open perspectives. They say that they are the aboriginals. States were in compromise with big trade houses to counter these outsiders, isolate them, condemn them, assimilate them and integrate them. Bringing them from pre-state to pro-state is actually a huge task and you have do deal with their production system, social system and mental construct as well. And till then these people love their ethnic identities and are in favour of their cultural survival that provide them a virtual safeguard and never allow them to forget about nature- human-supernature relationship: in one phrase the way of living.

  • A History of Arakan (Past & Present)

    A History of Arakan (Past & Present)

    A History of Arakan (Past & Present) by Dr. Mohammed Yunus First Edition Published in 1994 A History of Arakan: Past and Present, by Dr. Mohammad Yunus, President of the Rohingya Solidarity Organisation (RSO), Arakan, is a a welcome addition to the present stock of our knowledge about the history of Arakan and her interrelation with neighbouring lands of Burma and Bengal. It deals mainly with the advent of Islam in Arakan about 800 C.E. and the eventual growth of Muslim community through thick and thin into a major Rohingya community of the country. One can say unhasitatingly that for the first time Dr. Yunus has been able to offer, even if in a skeleton form, a connected and continuous history of the Rohingya community of Arakan from the earliest down to the present time. He has explored an enormously wide field in digging up a great variety of new materials drawn from an impressive number of references. Specially commendable in this work is the forging of all the material under his command towards a new direction of studying the history of the Rohingya Muslim community in the perspective of the impact of Islamic civilization on Southeast Asia, not merely considering it as a part of the national or political history of Burma or Myanmar. Indeed, when we turn our gaze to the whole situation of Southeast Asia and find, to our amazement, the statistic of the Muslims exceeding 50% (fifty percent) of the total population of the region, we can easily realize the importance of the community history of the Muslims of different areas of the region.
