Abstract

The era of globalization presents both opportunities and challenges to the field of public administration. Dealing with the myriads of anomalous situations including wars, transnational epidemics, terrorism, financial crises, serious security-related accidents and transportation casualties has become a very important part of the public administrators’ daily work. The traditional practice of public administration is becoming more difficult due to scientific and technological improvements, as well as economic globalization that has been complicating socio-economic–political development, emerging issues are bringing about enormous transformations and challenges to government administration. Within the public administration of Bangladesh trust is increasingly becoming a crucial element of performance. Thus, trust in public administration leads to the discourse of trust in governance. This article, based on literatures on governance and trust in the system of governance, would look to analyze the state of trust in the governance system of Bangladesh. In that analysis we will discuss the pros and cons of present governance in Bangladesh. After such analysis we would like to draw the inference by delineating the potential process how trust can be successfully installed in governance system of the country.
