This book examines the relationship between ethnic conflict and
economic development in modern Sri Lanka. Drawing on a historically
informed political sociology, it explores how the economic and the
ethnic have encountered one another, focusing in particular on the
phenomenon of Sinhala nationalism. In doing so, the book engages
with some of the central issues in contemporary Sri Lanka: why has
the ethnic conflict been so protracted, and so resistant to
solution? What explains the enduring political significance of
Sinhala nationalism? What is the relationship between market reform
and conflict? Why did the Norwegian-sponsored peace process
collapse? How is the Rajapaksa phenomenon to be understood? The
topical spread of the book is broad, covering the evolution of
peasant agriculture, land scarcity, state welfarism, nationalist
ideology, party systems, political morality, military employment,
business elites, market reforms, and development aid.
