Broken Pendulum: Bangladesh's Swing to Radicalism with discussants Maneeza Hossain and Husain Haqqani. Hudson Senior Fellow Hillel Fradkin introduces the speakers.

The Bangladesh Army's takeover of the political system came at a heavy price: a native democratic system that had lasted more than fifteen years was forcibly ended. More ominously, the takeover inadvertently legitimized and strengthened Islamist radicalism in Bangladesh.

Hudson Senior Fellow Maneeza Hossain's new book Broken Pendulum: Bangladesh's Swing to Radicalism, (Hudson Institute Press) explores the background and factors contributing to a process of radicalization, not merely religious but broadly cultural, in Bangladesh - Hudson Institute

Husain Haqqani was a visiting scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington, D.C., and an associate professor of International Relations at Boston University.

Born in Karachi, Pakistan, Haqqani acquired traditional Islamic learning as well as a modern education in International Relations. His journalism career started with work as East Asian correspondent for The Islamic World Review during the turbulent years following the Iranian revolution. During this period he wrote extensively on Muslims in China and East Asia and Islamic political movements around the world. Later, as Pakistan and Afghanistan correspondent for the Far Eastern Economic Review, he covered the war in Afghanistan and acquired deep understanding of militant Islamist Jihadi groups.

For a start, Aussie mining companies should help out Papua New Guinea, but they should endorse modernisation or UN should have control over the Gold and Diamonds. Secondly Australia and America obviously didn't realise how disinterested France wasn't in their squabble.

Dominique Thiriet needs to be in massive trouble for the exam she set in Legal Institutions and Methods in first semester 2006. Last lecture, if you didn't turn up you wouldn't have known that a significant portion of the exam was about, well about Papuan Diamond and Gold mining industry crisis, Australian and American Wheat scandal re the second Iraq invasion and ... the Australian Workers Agreement (which why the way, were liking mending a shark attack victim with a packet of bandaids).

NATO needs to start looking at developing countries as potential crime scenes.

Although they probably do need mobile stainless steel fresh water containers.
