Recensioner i media

"The book is a proud recounting of achievements, as well as an attempt to present the difficulties, with all their complexities, that the country has faced. This has been done with great attention to brevity and clarity. This book will be a standard reference work on Bangladesh for years to come, and a necessary addition to any collection on the region in general and on Bangladesh. Bangladesh as a 'test case for development' offers useful insights for other 'less developed' countries and their donors."Wolfgang-Peter Zingel, International Quarterly for Asian Studies
