International Economic Relations. Country Paper of Bangladesh

Seminar paper from the year 2014 in the subject Politics - International Politics - General and Theories, grade: 1,3, Wiesbaden University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: The paper begins with a background on the country. Next, its economic policy and the current macroeconomic situation are analysed followed by the economic structure and international economic relations. Last but not least, after arriving at the main hindrances and potentials of the economy, a recommendation is given on how to make things better. On a global scale, Bangladesh is rather insignificant in terms of economic or political power. Furthermore, it is a country that is seldom reported about by Western media. The news coverage I have seen in the last years mainly pertained to natural disasters (heavy flooding) or political tension. More recently, however, terrible accidents in the garments factory have made the international headlines. Considering the fact that many of the clothes I wear contain a tag reminding me regularly that they are produced in this country, I was anxious to find out more.
