Afghanistan: The Next Phase

By: Shahid Javed Burki,Iftekhar Ahmed Chowdhury,Riaz Hassan

Afghanistan: The Next Phase takes an in-depth look at the present situation in Afghanistan by placing it in the context of the country's tribal culture, history and demography. It considers its association with Pakistan, with whom it shares not only a long border, but also the Pashtuns, the largest ethnic component in its population and the rise of extremism in many parts of the Sunni world. The country faces an uncertain future as it has yet to develop the institutional structure that could transform it into an inclusive society. This book offers analysis of what the economic future holds for Afghanistan when the United States completes the withdrawal of combat troops at the end of 2014, when the flow of foreign capital that has helped the country is likely to be reduced significantly. The authors propose a formal association of ten to twelve countries to chaperone the country into the future. In the absence of such an arrangement, Afghanistan could once again become a failed state, which would have repercussions around the world.

An explorative study on business accelerators In the context of Bangladesh

By: Iftekhar Ul Karim

In this study, “business accelerator model” denotes the model or system following which the business accelerator runs its accelerator program and deals or interacts with the participating entrepreneurs. Lately, World Bank in one of its research has termed BiD Network as a “virtual accelerator” (World Bank, 2011), which resourcefully supports emerging market business start-ups virtually through facilitating local connections between local entrepreneurs, coaches and financiers. Apart from that, BiD Network itself is determined to support the entrepreneurs in developing economies through various innovative means and schemes, both locally and remotely. In this regard to follow-up its own services to a broader developing community, BiD Network is interested to look into the key characteristics of a business accelerator model which identifies how the business accelerator runs and deals with the entrepreneurs. In this context, the first research objective is to find out these key characteristics/functions of a business accelerator model by studying both the developed and developing country accelerators.

Disaster Resilience in South Asia

Tackling the Odds in the Sub-Continental Fringes

By: Iftekhar Ahmed,Kim Maund,Thayaparan Gajendran

This book considers the challenges of building disaster resilience in South Asia – a region that frequently experiences some of the most severe and devastating impacts of disasters. Despite significant work to assist affected communities, many smaller South Asian countries remain particularly vulnerable in terms of fostering disaster resilience. Drawing on examples from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka, the book offers rich insights and narratives on disaster resilience policy and practice. It considers the possibilities for advancing community resilience and capacity building through an exploration of different aspects of governance and policy. Given the diversity of these countries and recent disasters, a variety of perspectives are considered: institutional and policy frameworks, risk management governance, recovery operations, building codes, and policy and media discourse. The book offers a collective understanding of practice, which can offer global lessons to a world increasingly beset by disasters and with uncertain environmental futures. This book will be a valuable resource for scholars, practitioners and students in the fields of disaster risk reduction and management, climate change adaptation, public policy and sustainable development.
