Bangladesh-China Connectivity

This book adopts an interdisciplinary social science approach. It includes original research papers on Bangladesh-China’s connectivity to archaeology, history, religion, traditional Chinese medicine, language and literature, women and gender, diplomacy and strategic relations, bilateral business and trade, and the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).

Most of the existing literature perceives bilateral and regional connectivity from economic and strategic points of view and emphasizes financial and political profit-loss and integration. This book combines the archeological and cultural issues from history and diplomacy, and soft power from the present. The content of this book has a broader scope and is divided into six parts including background and introduction; archeology, history, and religion; business and trade; diplomacy and geo-strategy; traditional Chinese medicine; language and literature; and society, culture, and gender.

This book is particularly designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students, researchers, academics, journalists, and strategic think tanks from broader humanities and social sciences backgrounds including, history, archeology, religious studies, philosophy, sociology, anthropology, political sciences, international relations, economics, environmental studies, language and literary studies, gender studies, health studies, and business.
