Thus NSS can be defined as<br>“The nation’s evolving plan for the coordinated use of all the instruments of<br>national power to defend and advance national interests”. This would encompass<br>development and application of national power potential both non-military as<br>well as military in nature. Thus National Security Strategy is formulated in the<br>context of prevailing situation based on the input provided by official, political<br>and intellectual forums. Power potential of a country has numerous dimensions<br>like economic, Political, diplomatic, military and social. These elements of national<br>power play the most important role in formulating security strategy of a country.<br>The developing countries are often facing difficulty to maintain domestic stability<br>to prevent. At the same time absolute security against all the threats may not be<br>attainable. Therefore, policy must determine the level and areas of insecurity,<br>which would be acceptable. Thus in depth understanding of concept of NSS<br>is essential. This paper is an endeavor to put in a capsule, for understanding the<br>Concept and paradigm of NSS for the Policy Planning Process and Formulation<br>Methodology. The paper also highlight the what security strategy may be adopted<br>by weak &amp; developing nation and suggested an outline for Bangladesh. The core<br>purpose of this paper is to keep it concise yet providing sufficient and relevant<br>academic input to the policy maker for implementing appropriate strategy. It is<br>expected that regular study on the very subject “National Security Strategy” would<br>open new vistas of strategic thinking and debating security issues in the context<br>of Present Regional and Global Security Issues. As such the concept suggested<br>in the paper is by no means a binding one. It must be taken as a guideline and<br>modified as per level of understanding in future.</p>}, number={2}, journal={NDC E-JOURNAL}, author={Commodore Abdullah Al Mamun Chowdhury (N), ndc, psc, BN}, year={2017}, month={Dec.}, pages={69-87} }
