Alliance is based<br>on the principal of common goal and understanding; aimed to enhance<br>cooperation on political, strategic (sometimes direct military intervention),<br>intelligence, economic and technological spheres. Drawing on a wide body of<br>analysis and research on international system, it can be said that in the ‘age of<br>interdependence’ no countries, even great powers cannot work unilaterally. Asia<br>Pacific Region countries who traditionally suffer from intrastate rivalry, mistrust<br>and misunderstanding are responding their new security challenges with a mix<br>of bilateral and multilateral approaches encompassing both USA and China.<br>This could be example for Bangladesh in searching for suitable alliance(s).<br>The increased defence budget of most of the Asian countries especially India<br>and Myanmar give us enough reason to redraw the security architecture of<br>Bangladesh. In the context of global and regional security alliance Bangladesh<br>simply does not have the economic, political and military strength to act alone.<br>It is therefore imperative for her to look for strategic alliance(s) to ensure her<br>safety, security, survival and future development. Among many China, USA,<br>India are going to be the key actors to influence the world politics. Therefore<br>Bangladesh needs to be involved with all of these three either strategically,<br>economically, politically or diplomatically.</p>}, number={1}, journal={NDC E-JOURNAL}, author={Commander S M Khalid Hossain, (S), afwc, psc, BN}, year={2011}, month={Jun.}, pages={178-201} }
