ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the key concepts discussed in the preceding chapters of this book. The book demonstrates that successive regimes in Bangladesh have used various state institutions as a tool and mechanism in order to monopolize state power which has eventually helped them to establish personal rule under a democratic framework. It shows that the only way to promote food accessibility to the chronically hungry poor is state-generated entitlement. The book provides critical investigation of the role of the Bangladesh state in promoting food availability has shown the institutional incapacity of the state in a range of important sectors which are vital for ensuring food availability. It explores the state mechanisms/initiatives of market regulation that are necessary for price stabilization. The book influences the market based on the use of public stock; in other words, public intervention in the food grain markets through the public food distribution system.
