The circular economy has emerged as a policy goal with respect to the trade relationships between developed and developing countries. The aim of the circular economy is to take responsibility for the costs involved in recycling by going away from the linear economic model, which is briefly stated as 'take-recycle-dispose' with unused materials in at one end and externalised the wastes at the other. Recycling numerous unused structures is a persisting problem for Australia that can be resolved following this circular economy approach. To that end, an underlying aim of this chapter is to propose a bilateral agreement between Bangladesh and Australia that aims at recycling offshore structures of Australian companies in Bangladesh's ship recycling industry (hereinafter referred to as recycling industry). This chapter also sheds light on the challenges for Bangladesh in recycling the offshore structures in a sustainable way but disputes that those offshore structures will only increase the waste burden for Bangladesh.
Inclusion is a globally recognized educational philosophy that ensures opportunities and participation of all students along with students with disabilities in all aspects of school life. The United Nations has recently set target (Goal 4) of the SDGs ensuring quality, equitable and inclusive education for all by the year 2030. Over the years Bangladesh has responded to the international declarations to ensure and promote inclusive education. It is developing model inclusive primary schools across the country. However, many children with disabilities in Bangladesh are still facing exclusion. Data of this phenomenological study were collected from forty school teachers from fifteen primary schools through FGD and questionnaire guided interviews. Ten classroom teaching were observed and the parents, students, the community people and concerned education officers were interviewed. The social constructivist theory and system theory constructed the theoretical framework of the study. The research found challenges of training, study materials and assistive devices, funds, rigid curriculum and weak coordination among community and schools. It recommended holistic approach and good collaboration among community and school to meet the challenges. The findings might regenerate in depth understanding on inclusive education for policy implementers and other researchers from the context of Bangladesh.
In the last two decades, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan have been the market leaders for breaking ships 1 . Before 2000, developed countries had their own shipbreaking industries. Due to risks involved in the process and the high level of safety standards under their established laws, it became too expensive to retain the shipbreaking industry in the developed countries. By the end of 20 th century, shipbreaking was gradually shifted mainly to Turkey, China, India, Bangladesh and Pakistan 2 . At present, China and Turkey have higher shipbreaking costs than South Asia and therefore Turkey and China have not been the preferred destinations for the last ten years. The reason for this is that Turkey's labour cost is twenty-five times higher than Bangladesh and India (around $17.52 per day in Turkey compared to less than $1 in Bangladesh per day) 3 . China on the other hand has invested a large amount of capital in building dry docks for shipbreaking 4 , whereas India, Bangladesh and Pakistan have low cost of labour, and they use the cheaper beaching method instead of dry dock 5 . Dry dock is expensive but causes less environmental damage as wastes can be removed safely from the ships 6 . In contrast, the beaching method of shipbreaking is cheaper in terms of establishment costs, but is a major concern for a sustainable shipbreaking as it allows toxic substances to escape directly into the seawater. By using the cheaper beaching method and combined with the low cost of labour, the three South Asian countries control 90% the global shipbreaking business. In fact, the price offered to shipping companies by India, Bangladesh and Pakistan differs significantly from the price offered by Turkey and China 7 .

<p>This study identifies legislation constraints to reorganize government bodies in Indonesia. Most administrations continuously receive pressure to reform and transform. Reorganization is a logical step when the problems are structural. Large government has resulted in potential duplications, in part due to entrenchment in statutes. Reorganizing a ministry or an agency poses impediments due to the process required for statutory amendments. This article takes a qualitative approach to examine the legal impediment in conducting the reorganization of government bodies. This research is a socio-legal study that combines legal research in the area of administrative law, political science, and public policy and management.</p><p> </p><p><strong>Keywords</strong><strong>:</strong> Bureaucracy; Legislation; Politics; Administrative; Reorganisation.</p>
