Hassan, Mirza Nazneen, Sohela BRAC Institute of Governance and Development Bangladesh Democratic transition Limited access order Political violence Political settlement This article was published in Conflict, Security & Development [©2017 Rights managed by Taylor & Francis] and the definite version is available at: https://doi.org/10.1080/14678802.2017.1319695 The Article's website is at: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/14678802.2017.1319695 We explore the dynamics of the elite political settlement in Bangladesh after the democratic transition in 1991 and its impact on the elite interactions in the arena of competitive electoral democracy. We trace the history of how a political settlement around regime succession developed in the mid-1990s, and then experienced difficulties in multiple stages, and finally broke down in 2011. Violence was instrumentally used, by the ruling elites and the main opposition party, to influence the processes of negotiations around the succession of power. We argue that ‘partyarchy’—where political parties exert informal control of the party through formal processes and institutions—and dynastic rule prevent the political elites from reaching a stable settlement around regime succession. We also show how the changes to the rules of the game around regime succession have led to a qualitative shift in the extent and nature of violence in the political domain, and explore why democratic consolidation remains elusive.
