Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Declining Sri Lanka is a political history of Sri Lanka which focuses on the reasons for and results of the ethnic violence that has plagued the country over the last quarter century. After an incisive study of the background, it explores in depth the contribution of the J R Jayewardene government (1977-1989), and in particular the international dimension that led to tensions with India. Having dealt with the Indian intervention of 1987 which led to Indian troops battling their former prot g s, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam, it looks at further developments and the failure of both the Kumaratunga and Wickremesinghe governments to quell violence or provide political solutions. The book ends with a brief analysis of the current government in the context of increasing international concern over both terrorism (as exemplified by the LTTE) and basic human rights (as exemplified by the continuing suffering of Tamil people).
