Book excerpt: "Two years into President Maithripala Sirisena's term, Sri Lanka's fragile hopes for lasting peace and cooperation across party and ethnic lines are imperilled. Despite significant achievements in the coalition government's first nine months, progress on most of its reform agenda has slowed to a crawl or been reversed. As social tensions rise and the coalition slowly fractures, it is unclear whether it can push its signature new constitution through parliament and to a national referendum. Neither the president nor prime minister has made a serious attempt to win support for a more inclusive polity or to reform the national security state to tackle the institutionalised impunity that has fed ethnic unrest and harmed all communities. To protect democratic gains, enable lasting reforms and reduce risks of social and political conflict, the 'unity government' should put aside short-term party and individual political calculations and return to a politics of reform and openness"--Publisher's web site.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Even when armed conflicts formally end, the transition to peace is not clear-cut. This comprehensive volume explores the mounting evidence which suggests that it is rather ‘unlikely to see a clean break from violence to consent, from theft to production, from repression to democracy, or from impunity to accountability’. The authors analyse the complex endeavour of transitioning out of war, studying how it is often interrelated with other transformations such as changes in the political regime (democratisation) and in the economy (opening of markets to globalisation). They explore how, in the same way as wars and conflicts reflect the societies they befall, post-war orders may replicate and perpetuate some of the drivers of war-related violence, such as high levels of instability, institutional fragility, corruption, and inequality. This book thus suggests that, even in the absence of a formal relapse into war and the re-mobilisation of former insurgents, many transitional contexts are marked by the steady and ongoing reconfiguration of criminal and illegal groups and practices. This book will be of great interest to students and researchers of political science and peace studies. It was originally published as an online special issue of Third World Thematics.

Download or read book The Expedient Utopian written by James Manor and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1989 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without Dustjacket. Condition Good. This Study Of S.W.R.D. Bandaranaike, The Pivotal Figure In The Emergence Of Modern Politics In Sri Lanka, Makes A Major Contribution To An Important Yet Neglected Period In The Country`S Political History. Dr. James Manor Explores The Personal And Political Dimensions Of Bandaranaike`S Life, Concentrating On The Economic, Social, Political And Cultural Forces Which Had A Substantial Bearing Upon His Story. Bandaranaike Is Assessed As A Member Of That Generation Of Asian And African Leaders Who Presided Over The Transition From Imperial Rule To Assertive Self-Government And Helped To Develop New Modes Of Politics. Bandaranaike Was, As Manor Convincingly Demonstrates, A Tangle Of Incongruities. He Was Both An Utopian Idealist And An Unbridled Seeker After Short-Term Political Advantages. A Scion Of The Leading Family In Ceylon`S Old Social Order, Bandaranaike Was Nonetheless An Enthusiast For Significant Social Change And His Overweeing Snobbery Caused Him To Hold The Island`S Elite In Such Contempt That He Became A Genuine Egalitarian. He Delighted In English Lyricism, Yet He Also Championed The Revival Of The Indigenous Language, Culture And Religion Of The Sinhalese. Bandaranaike`S Story, As Presented Here, Illuminates The Development Of Democratic Politics In Sri Lanka A Well A The Origins Of Current Tensions Between Sinhalese And Tamils, Which Threaten To Destroy Democracy And The Island`S Social Cohesion.

Download or read book Soap Operas Gender and the Sri Lankan Diaspora written by Shashini Gamage and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-29 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a transnational ethnographic study of Sri Lankan women’s television soap opera cultures in Australia and Sri Lanka. Both Sri Lankan migrant women’s soap opera clubs in Melbourne, Australia, and female friendship groups watching soap operas in Colombo, Sri Lanka, are examined. Conducted in the sociopolitical backdrop of post-civil war Sri Lanka, this study examines how nationalist ideologies of womanhood shape meanings in Sri Lankan television soap operas that predominantly cater to female audiences. How women interpret, resist, deconstruct, and reconstruct good-bad binaries of women’s bodies, freedoms, and rights as represented in the soap operas are mapped, providing an ethnographic examination of how nationalist meanings translate into cultural capital in spaces of television production and reception, in national and diasporic everyday lives.
