The aim of this
paper was to analyze the history of colonial rule and its impact on
postcolonial bureaucracy and governance in Bangladesh. The paper is
qualitative in nature and based on secondary sources of data and
information. The major findings of this paper are: the structure of
bureaucracy is inherited from the colonial rule. This legacy of colonial
rule has impeded the postcolonial reform efforts. As an adverse effect
of colonial rule politicization of administration and civil-military
elitism has coexisted in bureaucracy that relaxes the accountability of
administration. As a result, dominating bureaucratic role exhibits with
rampant corruption in Bangladeshi governance. Cite This Article As: Mollah AH (2015). Does Colonial Rule Matter for Governance? A Study in the Context of Bureaucracy in Bangladesh. Inter. J. Polit. Sci. Develop. 3(10): 416-427
