Trapped in Great Power Politics: Bangladesh at the Crossroads

Bangladesh has entered a phase where domestic unrest and global power competition are colliding with dangerous intensity. Trapped in Great Power Politics delivers a sharp strategic assessment of Bangladesh’s political breakdown following the resignation of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, the emergence of an interim government, and the cascading effects on regional stability.

This report dissects how student-led protests escalated into a nationwide movement, how key military dynamics altered the balance of power, and why India was forced to harden border security amid fears of spillover, refugee flows, and trade disruption. It further maps the economic shockwaves—port congestion, logistics paralysis, internet shutdowns, and business uncertainty—impacting supply chains across South Asia.

Beyond internal instability, the report examines Bangladesh’s growing exposure to great-power rivalry in the Bay of Bengal, including the strategic significance of St. Martin’s Island and competing US–China interests in regional logistics and connectivity.

Built for policymakers, geopolitical risk analysts, investors, supply-chain strategists, and security professionals, this intelligence product connects political collapse with regional power play consequences.

Moments like these redefine nations quietly before headlines catch up. Following Global Eye Intelligence ensures you identify strategic inflection points early—while others are still reacting to surface-level events.
