2007-2008
Emergency-era Caretaker Rule
After the 11 January 2007 emergency, Bangladesh entered a prolonged caretaker-governed period backed by security institutions. Anti-corruption drives, political detentions, and administrative restructuring took place under a non-elected framework before the December 2008 election restored elected government. The period remains one of the most contested transitions in contemporary Bangladeshi politics.
2018

The Quota Reform Movement and Safe Road Movement showed how students could rapidly organize around fairness, accountability, and everyday governance. The Digital Security Act then sharpened anxiety over speech and state power, while the 11th Parliamentary Election at the end of the year deepened debate over participation, legitimacy, and the future of democratic competition.
