Conflict and Peacebuilding in Sri Lanka (eBook, PDF)

Caught in the Peace Trap?
Redaktion: Goodhand, Jonathan; Spencer, Jonathan; Korf, Benedikt

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

The period between 2001 and 2006 saw the rise and fall of an internationally supported effort to bring a protracted violent conflict in Sri Lanka to a peaceful resolution. A ceasefire agreement, signed in February 2002, was followed by six rounds of peace talks, but growing political violence, disagreements over core issues and a fragmentation of the constituencies of the key parties led to an eventual breakdown. This book brings together a unique range of perspectives on this problematic and ultimately unsuccessful peace process.
