| dc.description.abstract | The rapid globalization of trade and investment has necessitated the alignment of domestic legal
frameworks with international legal standards. In Bangladesh, the evolution of business law has
been marked by significant reforms aimed at facilitating economic growth, protecting investors,
and ensuring regulatory compliance. This research examines the historical development of
business law in Bangladesh, identifies the gaps and inconsistencies in the domestic legislative
framework, and analyzes the mechanisms employed to harmonize national laws with
international legal norms.
The study employs a qualitative methodology, combining doctrinal legal analysis with a review
of statutes, case law, and international treaties relevant to commercial and corporate regulation.
Key areas of focus include contract law, corporate governance, banking and financial
regulations, intellectual property rights, and dispute resolution mechanisms. The research also
explores the challenges faced in implementing international standards, such as institutional
limitations, socio-economic constraints, and legislative inconsistencies.
The findings indicate that while Bangladesh has made substantial progress in updating its legal
framework, significant gaps remain in achieving full harmonization with international standards.
Recommendations include targeted legislative reforms, capacity-building for regulatory
institutions, and the adoption of international best practices to enhance legal certainty and
promote investor confidence.
This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the trajectory of business law in Bangladesh
and provides practical insights for policymakers, legal practitioners, and scholars aiming to
strengthen the country’s legal infrastructure in line with global standards. | en_US |
