Geopolitics of Rakhine Region: A Bangladesh Perspective

With geopolitics becoming the central concern for all regional giants, Myanmar’s Rakhine state is becoming a hot spot for geostrategic interests and economic development. With states like China and India focusing significant attention towards this resource-rich geostrategic region, how much potential does Bangladesh have when it comes to leveraging Bangladesh’s geostrategic location? To discuss these concerns, Head of BCTR and Research Fellow, Mr. Shafqat Munir brings a paper on Bangladesh’s geopolitical potential in the Arakan region with his policy brief on “Geopolitics of Rakhine Region: A Bangladesh Perspective” as a part of the policy brief series in Torkel Opsahl Academic EPublisher (TOAEP).
