Political Crisis in Bangladesh: Democracy, Disorder & Regional Fallout

Bangladesh is facing its most severe political and constitutional crisis in decades—one with consequences that extend far beyond its borders. Political Crisis in Bangladesh is a Global Eye Intelligence assessment that dissects how governance breakdowns, mass protests, and elite power struggles are pushing the country into prolonged instability.

The report examines the deep-rooted rivalry between the Awami League and the Bangladesh Nationalist Party, the collapse of electoral legitimacy, and the role of student movements that transformed street protests into regime-shaping pressure. It analyses the emergence of a caretaker administration, the erosion of institutional checks and balances, and the growing space for radical and extremist elements amid political vacuum.

A dedicated security lens highlights cross-border implications: refugee flows, arms smuggling, minority attacks, and the spillover risks for India’s northeast. The report also assesses how external powers—including China and the United States—are recalibrating their engagement as Bangladesh’s strategic orientation shows signs of drift. Economic disruption, investor uncertainty, garment-sector risks, and human-rights pressures are mapped as compounding stressors.

This report is essential for policymakers, investors, and security professionals tracking South Asian stability.

Political crises don’t stay domestic when borders, trade, and security are intertwined. Those who understand Bangladesh now will anticipate South Asia’s next shock before it materialises. Follow Global Eye Intelligence to stay ahead of fast-moving geopolitical risks.
