In a detailed commentary published on January 29, 2026, researcher and journalist Amir Khasru analyzed the evolution of state security and defense concepts, emphasizing Bangladesh’s need to adapt to changing global realities. He traced the historical roots of defense thinking from ancient civilizations to modern times, arguing that defense and security should not be equated with warfare. Khasru highlighted that small and weaker states must ensure participatory national defense arrangements to safeguard sovereignty.
The article discussed how colonial and neo-colonial influences created psychological dependency among smaller nations, weakening their defense outlook. It examined theories from Harold Nicolson, Hans Morgenthau, and Stephen Walt to explain how diplomacy, realism, and the balance of threat shape modern international relations. Khasru also warned against “fake narrative theories” used by dominant powers to manipulate perceptions and undermine sovereign defense systems.
He concluded that Bangladesh must remain alert to global shifts where defense diplomacy and threat balancing increasingly define alliances, citing examples such as Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey’s recent defense cooperation.
