Abstract

Subject Security risks in Bangladesh. Significance Bangladesh confronts an array of security risks that could undermine its reputation as a moderate Muslim-majority state. These risks arise from three main sources: political party rivalries, militant Islamist organisations with links to international jihadi networks and domestically oriented Islamist groups that reject secularism. Impacts Tourism will be directly affected by further incidents of political and Islamist violence. A rise in violence in Bangladesh could imperil projects associated with China’s One Belt One Road initiative. Islamic State has threatened to attack foreign apparel firms doing business in Bangladesh, necessitating greater awareness. Bangladesh’s security risk is lower than that of Afghanistan and Pakistan: there is no nationwide insurgency or state links to terrorists.
