Abstract
Global strategic and economic landscape is changing dramatically, calling into question the long-held connectivity principles that define globalization. Nations have benefited from advancements in technology and collaborative policies that facilitated global integration over time. Bangladesh is a country that has reaped enormous benefits from globalization. However, the familiar landscape of an interconnected globe is now under threat, as governments increasingly embrace protectionist measures, unraveling the complex structure of global flows that has been painstakingly built up over decades. This study examines the current dynamics of major global players in the geopolitical arena and the implications of their interaction for Bangladesh. The paper further investigates the challenges as well as possibilities that the post COVID-19 era presents for Bangladesh. By examining global political trends, the paper attempts to provide an analysis of how Bangladesh is adapting to global changes amid the post COVID-19 protectionism and what are the prospects for its position in the evolving strategic landscape.
