Abstract

The paper analyses the extent of politicization of bureaucracy in Bangladesh and its underlying impact on the quality of the good governance. Good governance has become a pressing need for the developing countries in the age of globalization, and Bangladesh is not an exception in this process. But the persistent practices of politicization of public bureaucracy in Bangladesh is hampering the quality service delivery and ultimately halting the implementation of good governance agenda. The paper argues that the depoliticization of bureaucracy is an important step towards the fulfillment of good governance in Bangladesh.
