Economic Geography of Bangladesh

Harunur Rashid's 'Economic Geography of Bangladesh' serves both as a university textbook and a professional reference. Following the approach of the first edition, the book first explains various aspects of geography, then presents the economy through the national accounting system. This innovative method shows how the national product is formed before discussing the fifteen major sectors with the help of numerous tables and maps. Published statistics on various economic sectors are used extensively to demonstrate how and why the different statistical regions vary in their economic development.

All twenty statistical regions have their essential economic and geographical features analyzed in a comprehensive chapter. The final chapter summarizes the outstanding socio-economic issues of Bangladesh. While written for university-level students, the facts and analyses presented will interest development planners as well.
