New and innovative dimensions<br>of internal security have come into view. A holistic approach to security today embraces all sources<br>of insecurities emanating from internal political, economic and social disorders as well as external<br>threats. Security issues in Bangladesh have not been handled adequately till now and consequential<br>developments are a number of fault-lines generating threats. Recent political anarchy and the<br>nation-wide coordinated explosion of bombs have thrown great challenges to its security. Moreover,<br>issues of poverty, corruptions, lack of justice, etc have also become relevant. Accordingly, platform<br>like the National Security Council (NSC) has been floated by some to handle the present day’s security problems. But, some are suspicious that NSC will mainly serve the corporate interests<br>of the military. Experiences of NSC in the world’s democratic nations show that it can have a<br>flexible structure and variable modus operandi to suit the particular needs of a country. The key<br>here is the set of principles on which the organisation has its edifice. Bangladesh too can establish<br>mechanisms to suit its own interests. There is, thus, a need to work out a solution so that NSC<br>can be made acceptable to the majority, and national security is not threatened and trampled upon<br>in the long run.</p>}, number={1}, journal={NDC E-JOURNAL}, author={Captain Kazi Kamrul Hassan, ndc, psc, BN}, year={2008}, month={Jun.}, pages={27-49} }
