Push Back: Sri Lanka's Dance with Global Governance

Autor Judith Large
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 dec 2016
In 2009, after decades of conflict, the Sri Lankan government proclaimed the decisive defeat of the Liberation Tamil Tigers of Elam. Subsequently, the state proved resistant to attempts by the UN and other international bodies to promote post-war reconciliation or reform.

In this incisive new work, Judith Large investigates the ways in which the Rajapaksa government was able to subvert international diplomatic efforts, as well as exploring the wider context of rising Sinhalese nationalism, the attendant growth of discrimination against minorities, and efforts by both the diaspora and citizens within Sri Lanka to work towards a positive peace.

Push Back is vital reading not only for those interested in Sri Lanka, but also for those concerned about the wider implications of the conflict for human rights, peace-making, and geopolitics.

Recenzii

An exceptionally detailed and carefully crafted study . the book strikes an excellent balance between accessibility of style and empirical rigour . a satisfying combination of facts and rigorous analysis that will be a vital source for anyone engaging in research, development or policy work in Sri Lanka now and in the future.'
Offers a fascinating account of the Sri Lankan government's tense relationship with the international community. Filled with sharp insights, Push Back will help us all have a better sense of where Sri Lanka may be headed.
This important new volume is essential reading for those wishing to understand the decades-long conflict in Sri Lanka, the quest for accountability, and the challenges of building peace in the wake of conflict.
The first serious academic study of the Rajapaksa regime's manipulation of the international system, which enabled them to preside over mass atrocities and get away scot free.
A brilliant exposition of the end game in the Sri-Lankan civil war.
Few inquiries have offered the theoretically incisive lens adopted here . Combing a nimble, Foucauldian conceptualization of the rapidly changing landscape of "global governance" and notions of "illiberal peacebuilding".
Incisively interrogates Sri Lanka's socio-political fabric under the Rajapaksa regime . the book sheds new light on how the government got away with outrageous human rights violations, even after the war.
