Understanding Informal Governance: Perspectives of Bangladesh

Informal governance is of different patterns nationally and globally. Such patterns can be supportive to formal governance for establishing good governance, or profitable for power abuse, which creates ambiguity in its uses or implementation. Governance has been involved in many dimensions to support and deviate individuals, societies, and the State. This multitudinous coverage seeks for governing the citizens mostly under a formal setting with an institutionalized law and order system legislated. In the perspective of Bangladesh, governance is neither good nor bad in ensuring law and order. This is because state actors (whether political, bureaucratic, secretarial, representative) have been performing their duties without mass peoples’ political agenda as if everybody feels he knows better. Imams (Mosque), teachers, private job holders, business persons, industrialists, civil societies, street beggars, drivers, grocers, and other various professionals might think of their country individually not collectively. Many men many minds tendency can have for sure. But, for the nationality identity, all the peoples of a country are the same. What is noticeable is that developing countries have been nerving much to fulfill certain portion of peoples’ demands in their living well comparably from the mediocre economic condition of the marginalized or deprived population. On the other hand, the developed countries seek skilled immigrants to fill in their workload of multi- businesses.
