Abstract Third-party actors who mediate or monitor peace often strive to uphold an image of neutrality. Yet, they commonly face accusations of partiality. The Nordic engagement in the Sri Lankan peace process is an illustration of this puzzle: despite the efforts to uphold an image of being neutral mediators and monitors, they have been seen as favoring one side or the other. This article suggests that part of the explanation for their failure to be seen as neutral lies in the fact that armed conflicts ...

Abstract Our title quotation is taken from an interview with the chief trustee of a leading Hindu temple in south London, and captures the curious mixture of philanthropy, politics, and individual ambition that has emerged around Sri Lankan Tamil temples in the diaspora. During the long years of civil war, temples became centres of mobilization for the growing Tamil diaspora, and were often accused of channelling funds to the LTTE (Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam) and its various front organizations. ...

Abstract Some literature depicts refugees as more passive than active when selecting a destination country. We draw on surveys of over 35,000 people in Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia, to show that most potential asylum seekers and refugees of Hazara, Rohingya, Muslim and Tamil backgrounds prefer some destination countries over others and that many refugees from these groups surveyed in Australia specifically had Australia in mind as a destination country. We show how ...

How can a country meaningfully commit to transitional justice interventions when ethnocracy and majoritarianism remain deeply entrenched in its political, legal and constitutional structures? Despite the creation of several commissions of inquiry and other mechanisms over the years to deal with the past, including those set up during the civil war, transitional justice and reconciliation have not been an integral part of Sri Lanka's nation-building campaign and socio-cultural consciousness. Sri ...

Empirical scholarship, including many statistical studies, suggests that civil war often entails increased levels of human rights abuse. But barely asked question is that “Do Human rights violations escalated the intolerance and in the worst case, armed ethnic conflict?”The objective of this essay to study the link between Human rights violations especially denial of group rights caused the ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka. This study is outlined in a human rights based framework.

Abstract This article examines merit making in contemporary Sri Lankan practice. Exploring the role of emotions, most generally defined as "happiness in the heart/mind," in this important Buddhist activity, this article seeks not only to move beyond a more mechanical view of merit making as generalized exchange, but also to introduce an affective quality to the notion of intention (cetanā). Finally, this article questions the tendency to judge Buddhist behavior and appearance solely against the norms ...

Why do rebels choose violence over non-violent methods to attain the cooperation of their constituency in the war against the government? This article assesses the importance of rebels' dependency on constituent support through a case study of the LTTE in Sri Lanka. The empirical findings suggest that dependency largely results in non-violent measures. However, a multitude of passive coercion methods – broadly unaccounted for by existing theory – evolve over time in the form of territorial and social ...

People who seek refuge from conflict, but do not cross an internationally recognized border, have attracted increased attention from the international humanitarian community since the end of the Cold War. While refugees who flee the country may obtain a legal status and protection under the Refugee Convention, IDPs are still under the jurisdiction of their own state, and should in principle have the same rights as other citizens of the country. The article aims at analysing local consequences of ...

The general election in mid-1977 marked a turning point of Sri Lankan history. On the one hand, it marked the beginning of economic liberalisation and emphasis on the private sector as the engine of growth. On the other hand, representatives of the Tamil minority fought the election asking for a mandate to form a separate state. Making use of the two dimensions of capital - the realm of exploitation and surplus extraction, and that of coercion including state security - this article analyses the processes ...
