Download or read book Sri Lanka written by Apratim Mukarji and published by Sterling Publishers Pvt. Ltd. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an extensive study of the Sri Lankan peace process. It throws light on the political situation in Sri Lanka and the tension generated between the government and the LTTE by a prolonged deadlock in the peace process. Despite the fact that there is no forward movement towards a resumption of talks, the peace process has continued and the two adversaries have stuck to the cease-fire and have honoured it till now. All this is because of the perseverance of the international community, with Norway as the facilitator and Japan as the largest donor. The book also deals extensively with the intimate relationship between the issues involving the dead locked peace dialogue and Sri Lankan politics.

Download or read book Government and Politics in Sri Lanka written by A. R. Rajah and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2017-04-21 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses where Sri Lanka stands as a state that has in place liberal democratic state-institutions but exhibits the characteristics of an authoritarian state. Using Michel Foucault’s concept of biopolitics, the author argues that Sri Lanka enacted racist legislations and perpetrated mass-atrocities on the Tamils as part of its biopolitics of institutionalising and securing a Sinhala-Buddhist ethnocratic state-order. The book also explores the ways that, apart from military action, power relations produce the effects of battle, and thus the way that peace can often become a means of waging war.

Download or read book Historian written by Hermann Giliomee and published by University of Virginia Press. This book was released on 2018-01-04 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this eloquent memoir, already widely read and praised in the author’s native South Africa, Hermann Giliomee weaves together the story of his own life with that of his country--a nation that continues to absorb and inspire him, both despite and because of its tortuous history. An internationally respected historian--his landmark The Afrikaners, writes J. M. Coetzee, "includes an account of the origins and demise of apartheid that must rank as the most sober, objective and comprehensive we have"-- Giliomee has devoted a lifetime to exploring the origins and perpetuation of the deep divisions in South African society. Although he grew up in the heart of the Afrikaner nationalist movement, he soon began to cut his own path in examining the rise and entrenchment of exclusive Afrikaner power and became one of the National Party’s chief critics. As an "outside insider"--or, to his critics, a "snake in the grass"--Giliomee has an understanding of Afrikaner power that is informed and nuanced. He has engaged with members on all sides of South Africa’s debates--many of whom appear in these pages through vivid and insightful portraits--and his outspokenness has hit nerves across the political spectrum. The personal journey of this original and courageous thinker will appeal to anyone interested in the complexities of South Africa’s past and present. Reconsiderations in Southern African History
