To fulfill this mission, study at National Defence College (NDC), Bangladesh includes all subjects and issues that impact or impinge on defence and national security. The study covers topics and issues like economic development and growth, socio-political environment and institutions, socio-cultural fabric and social infrastructure, environment, human resource development, human security, use of technology, vital and strategic resources and their management, governance and law enforcement, external relations at bilateral and multilateral levels. In depth study is also carried out of issues that constitute traditional and non traditional military threat and insecurity of both endogenous and exogenous origin, military power and potentials as a component part of national power, doctrinal issues of war fighting and structural, leadership and managerial framework to deal with national security and defence. All these issues are examined and analyzed at national, regional and global context. Ultimate objective is to develop amongst the course members balanced view and vision to provide effective and knowledge based leadership at strategic realm. Representation of the civil service and overseas countries in the courses run by the college also create an enabling environment for broader perspectives. From the very beginning the NDC has been putting its utmost effort to stay dynamic in terms of its course curriculum and teaching methods. This year we were able to introduce seminars in each module, case study leading to a simulation exercise of nation building, national integration and national security taking a real problem torn country as subject and a leadership sub module among others in the National Security Study, which is the 5th module of the National Defence Course. In the meantime many interested NDC graduates have already completed their first part of M-Phil degree from the National University, which is yet another step forward. More and more new graduates are showing their interest to pursue M-Phil studies, which is highly encouraging. This is the 3rd issue of the annual NDC Journal. The selected Individual Research Papers of the course members have been published in the journal accommodating as far as possible diverse subjects and merit. As the college has created the free and enabling environment for the deeper and unbiased perception of core National and International issues in the class owing to the policy of not attribution which stipulates that anything said in the class cannot be quoted outside a reflection in the research papers of superior understanding of varying perspectives of a subject or issue is what we expect. I must mention that the articles have been condensed from the original ones’ because of the requirement of downsizing those. Understandable in some cases this might have some how told on the quality of the articles compared to the original Individual Research Paper. I congratulate all course members who have contributed in this Journal. I thank the Editorial Board for editing and publishing the journal on time. This edition is yet another milestone in the path of progress of NDC. I invite response and comments from the readers. These will be invaluable in our endeavour to generate more debate and further improve our standard. Dhaka Abu Tayeb Muhammad Zahirul Alam 30 June 2004 Major General Commandant vi EDITORIAL It gives me much delight to present the third issue of the NDC Journal. The Journal aims at fulfilling the college motto "Security through knowledge". It addresses the much talked subject like national security of Bangladesh in the context of regional and global environment. The articles have been chosen from the individual research papers of the Course Members. The Members have submitted papers on security and development related issues as part of the curriculum during their nearly year long stay at the National Defence College. The College considers it a dire necessity for the Course Members to spend a lot of time in understanding major economic, political, social and environmental issues facing the nation. The Course Members get a first hand knowledge on research methodology by competent Academic Advisers from various universities and institutions. They carry out research independently on various national and international issues and put the findings in a paper that is substantial, readable and intellectually inspiring. In this issue we have published seven articles
