ABSTRACT
Identification of the prototype of politics-bureaucracy relations and their effect on governance and development is the linchpin of this book, which has been explored in the preceding chapters in the context of Bangladesh. Thus, this concluding chapter pulls the overall findings together, reexamines theoretical hypotheses and figures out a prospective model of symbiosis for the implication of effective governance and development, minimizing the inevitable tensions between politicians and bureaucrats. In doing so, this chapter is organized into two sections. In the first section, I have restated the problem and summarized the main findings, and in the final section, I have tried to develop a prospective third model of politics-bureaucracy relations focusing the light on the symbiotic relationship between politicians and bureaucrats that I have argued in this book is an interface between dichotomous and mutual relations, and an essential precondition or rational choice model of politics-bureaucracy relations for proper governance and development.
