Introducing Greening Strategies in Emerging Economies

This case study examines the economic structure of Bangladesh and analyzes the contribution and potential of the leather sector in ensuring sustainable economic growth. Through relying on the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) developed by Sabatier et al (2007), it also explores why it became necessary to relocate the leather processing industry from Hazaribagh to Savar, why initial attempts to relocate the industry failed, and how the development of a coalition that includes members from the development partners, research agencies and business associations eventually resulted in a successful policy shift.
