Abstract
Politcal devloplment, since very long, has been the subject of debate among the arenas of
political analysts and philosophers whose list is wide ranging. It includes from classical to 20th
Century‟s modern analysts. Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, Karl Marx and so many others , due to
their discontentment over the political conditions around them, presented their philosophies with
a wishful thinking of progress and development of the respective civic cultures. The concern for
political progress under the expression of political development became more pervasive after the
Second World War. During this intellectual fermentation, a host of scholars offered a wide
variety of definitional explication of the concept of political development. They all soon realised
the ambiguity of the offered definition of the concept of political development. L.W. Pye defined
it by using at least ten sub- concepts.This article will analyse the political development and
modernisation in Bangladesh after explicating the concept of political development and
modernisation which have been widely and generally accepted by the political scientists. This
study will be confined to the areas: the organisation of the political system and its structural
coherence, the democratic experience of the nation, and socio- economic development.
