Anatomy of Local Government in Bangladesh delves deep into the heart of governance in this vibrant nation, exploring its local government institutions' intricacies, challenges, and evolution. As a foundational layer of governmental hierarchy, these Local Government Institutions (LGIs) are a vital component of field administration, as enshrined in the country's constitution. With an unwavering commitment to a qualitative approach, this comprehensive study takes readers on a journey through the very essence of local government in Bangladesh, focusing on its structure, functions, and the hurdles it confronts. Leveraging an array of secondary data sources, the book unveils the inner workings of LGIs, painting a clear picture of their historical development, present organization, and financial dynamics. The chapters in this book lay bare the patron-client relationship between national and local governments, urging a shift towards greater autonomy and genuine representation of local citizens' needs. The path to democracy, decentralization, and enhanced local administration is illuminated, with insights drawn from foreign donors and citizen activism. This compelling book is a scholarly exploration and a guide for policymakers and activists, offering valuable lessons and suggestions for the future.
