ORF Strategic <strong>Trends</strong><br />
Conclusion<br />
Awami League <strong>and</strong> <strong>Bangladesh</strong> Nationalist Party will remain the main<br />
political forces in <strong>Bangladesh</strong>. But right-wing parties like JI will<br />
continue to exert influence on the political process. Religion is going to<br />
play a major role in the country. All the parties will remain friendly to<br />
China. Pakistan's influence on right-wing parties cannot be discounted.<br />
The parties will remain sceptical of US role in the region. By <strong>and</strong> large,<br />
civil society will continue to support democracy. But the character of<br />
the democratic process will depend largely on how the two major<br />
political parties behave. To a large measure, the strength of the<br />
institutions of governance like judiciary, election commission <strong>and</strong><br />
Parliament will decide the course of democratic process in the country.<br />
India <strong>and</strong> its actions will remain a key factor in <strong>Bangladesh</strong> politics.<br />
