BILATERAL AND REGIONAL DIMENSIONS OF THE RELATIONS BETWEEN TURKEY AND BANGLADESH

2022-3
Rahman, Afzalur
This thesis seeks to examine the bilateral and regional dimensions of the relations between Turkey and Bangladesh. The thesis explores the relations between Turkey and Bangladesh in the diplomatic, security, economic and socio-cultural dimensions. This thesis argues that contrary to the views of those scholars who think that relations between Turkey and Bangladesh are insignificant because of the geographical distance between these two countries, Turkey and Bangladesh have developed their both bilateral and regional relations significantly in the last two decades as these countries have broadened their foreign policy orientation globally. The thesis is composed of five chapters, including the introductory and concluding chapters. After the introductory first chapter, the second chapter examines the historical evolution of the relations between Turkey and Bangladesh. The third chapter analyzes the bilateral relations between these countries by focusing on the diplomatic, security, economic and socio-cultural dimensions. The penultimate chapter deals with the international and regional aspects of their relations by focusing on their cooperation in the frameworks of OIC, D-8 and ASEAN. The fifth and last chapter concludes the thesis.
