Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a result of years of research on the Sri Lankan ethnic crisis. It gives a vivid description of the crisis, analyses the numerous factors that influence it, and explains a way to end it by democratic means. Sri Lankan Ethnic Crisis: Towards a Resolution is a unique book among those written on the Sri Lankan ethnic crisis for a number of reasons. It is the only book on the market that looks at the Sri Lankan ethnic crisis in a comprehensive manner. Every other book written on the subject focuses only on some selected aspects of the crisis. At the same time those written before do not help the reader understand the present intricacies of the crisis. A close look at all the books so far written on the subject reveals that Sri Lankan Ethnic Crisis: Towards a Resolution is the first book to: reach readers in both the academic and non-academic environments; help the reader fully understand the historic context of the ethnic crisis in Sri Lanka; discover and discuss in a co-ordinated manner the hidden factors that influence the crisis; expose the disguise of the elite and dynastic-type post-colonial rule as democracy, and the unbuddhist influence of some Buddhist monks on the ethnic crisis; remind the British, the last colonial power of Sri Lanka, of their responsibility for the present predicament of the Sinhalese peasantry and "stateless" Indian Tamils; suggest a complete solution to the crisis with a new democratic model of governance, which is equally applicable in principle to other countries suffering from ethnic strife; and Outline a way to implement the solution in the present political climate. This is the first time a person outside social science academia and the journalistic world has written a book on the subject, giving the citizen's point of view on the ethnic crisis combined with a democratic solution. In his solution, the author suggests a new, bottom-up approach to the crisis, with the people at the centre of the decision making process, instead of the top-down approach that has so far failed. The Sri Lankan Ethnic Crisis: Towards a Resolution is a book of 85,000 words. It also includes a number of explanatory maps, tables, and charts. It is an easy-to-read, concise and up-to-date book that has the answers to the burning questions raised by those committed to finding a lasting solution to the Sri Lankan ethnic crisis. It is a book of interest to everyone everywhere interested in the phenomenon of identity politics, and in matters of democratic processes to ensure the civil, human and political rights of the entire citizenry. Sri Lankan Ethnic Crisis: Towards a Resolution has five chapters. The first chapter introduces the reader to the Sri Lankan ethnic crisis and the objectives and organisation of the book. The second chapter gives a historical background to the crisis. It takes the reader through three phases of Sri Lankan history: pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial. It is useful for the reader to know the historical background of the crisis to fully understand its present complexities. The third chapter identifies the root cause of the crisis and explains 10 main factors that have contributed to its escalation into a separatist war since independence in 1948. The fourth chapter stresses the importance of a new political beginning for Sri Lanka as a multiethnic independent nation, and explains eight basic factors that should constitute the foundation for such a new beginning. Then it discusses the varied governing systems developed in other democracies in the world, and proposes a new democratic governing model for Sri Lanka. The model addresses the ethnic issues in Sri Lanka and formulates a way to establish genuine democracy in the country, giving the power of self-determination to all its peoples. This chapter also explains how the country would be able to implement such a new mo

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a broad picture of Sri Lanka’s on-going political and economic crisis as the culmination of several centuries of colonial and neo-colonial developments. The book presents the Sri Lankan crisis as an exemplification of a broader global existential crisis facing more and more debt trapped countries, especially in the post-colonial Global South. The book's in-depth case study raises important questions pertaining to sovereignty and political and economic democracy in Sri Lanka and the world at large. The book also explores the emergence of the crisis in the context of the accelerating geopolitical conflict between China and the USA in the Indian Ocean. It ponders if the debt crisis, economic collapse and political destabilization in Sri Lanka were intentionally precipitated to the advantage of the Quadrilateral Alliance (USA, India, Australia and Japan). Moving beyond geopolitical rivalry, the book juxtaposes Sri Lanka’s political-economic crisis with the broader ecological crisis of climate change and sea-level rise. The book concludes with a consideration of the ethical dilemmas behind the debt and survival crisis in Sri Lanka and across the world. It points out a range of social movements and initiatives in Sri Lanka and the Global South which subscribe to collective and ecological alternatives and a Middle Path of sustainability and social justice.

Book excerpt: Shockwaves have been sent across the nation as a result of the terrible economic crisis that Sri Lanka is currently experiencing. Sri Lanka is a nation that is well-known for its extensive cultural history and picturesque landscapes. Because of the ongoing economic issues, officials, corporations, and citizens alike are experiencing a profound sense of apprehension for the future. There is a complicated interaction of elements that have converged to create a perfect storm, and this is at the core of the economic instability that Sri Lanka is experiencing. The ever-increasing burden of debt that the government is carrying is one of the key factors that has led to the crisis. The management of Sri Lanka's external debt has been difficult, which has resulted in a perilous financial condition for the country. A vicious cycle has been created as a result of the servicing of debts, which, when combined with a currency that is devaluing, has put an enormous amount of strain on the economic stability of the nation. Despite the fact that Sri Lanka's economy was already in a precarious state, the COVID-19 outbreak has made these issues even more difficult to manage. The reduction in tourism, interruptions in supply chains, and the subsequent drop in worldwide demand have all had a significant impact on major industries. There has been a considerable drop in tourism, which is a big contribution to the country's GDP. As a result, many enterprises that are dependent on tourism are in a precarious situation. The economic downturn that was caused by the pandemic has brought to light the vulnerabilities that are present in Sri Lanka's economic system, which thus calls for actions that are both urgent and comprehensive. The escalation of prices across a wide range of commodities has given rise to inflation, which has arisen as another pressing worry. There has been an influence on the purchasing power of citizens as a result of the rising cost of living, which has led to increased financial difficulties for many. The government is currently confronted with the challenging issue of striking a balance between the need to protect needy communities and the necessity to employ inflation control measures Instability in political systems has also been a contributor to the current economic crisis. The nation has been through a number of political shifts, which has resulted in uncertainty and has had an impact on the confidence of traders and investors. The nation's ability to generate the capital that is necessary for economic recovery has been hindered as a result of the diminished amount of foreign direct investment. As a result of the close scrutiny that has been directed on the government's response to these difficulties, individuals and experts have been calling for policies that are both effective and transparent in order to address the underlying causes of the crisis. The Sri Lankan government is now investigating a variety of potential solutions in order to address these economic difficulties. Among these are the implementation of austerity measures, the pursuit of aid from international financial organizations, and the beginning of economic reforms in order to entice foreign investment. It is important to note that the success of these programs is contingent not only on their timely and efficient implementation, but also on the coordinated efforts of a number of different stakeholders.

As a result, there have been previously unheard-of highs in inflation, an almost complete depletion of foreign exchange reserves, shortages of medical supplies, and a spike in the cost of essential goods.Under the presidency of Gotabaya Rajapaksa, Sri Lanka implemented significant tax cuts that had an impact on government income and fiscal policies and resulted in soaring budget deficits. Rating agencies downgraded the sovereign credit rating as a result of the significant loss in tax income, making it more difficult to take on further debt. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) had advised the Central Bank to cease printing money and instead raise interest rates, increase taxes, and reduce expenditure. Instead, the Central Bank started printing money in record volumes to pay for government spending.
