By investigating Sri Lanka as a case study, this book examines
whether democracy, compared to authoritarianism, is conducive to
post-war reconciliation. The research, founded on primary as well
as secondary data, concludes that political systems have little to
do with the success or failure of post-war ethnic reconciliation.
The Sri Lankan case indicated that post-war reconciliation is more
contingent on the readiness of the former enemies to come together.
Readiness stems from, for example, satisfaction in the way issues
have been resolved, confidence in the other party's intentions, and
the compulsion to coexist. If the level of satisfaction,
confidence, and the compulsion to coexist are low, the readiness to
reconcile will also be low. The end of the war had a profound
impact on post-war governance and ethnic relations in Sri Lanka.
Hence, the volume provides an in-depth analysis of the factors that
led to the military victory of the Sri Lankan government over the
Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) in 2009. The chapters delve
into the nexus between governance and reconciliation under the
first two post-war governments. Reconciliation did not materialize
in this period. Instead, new fault-lines emerged as attacks on the
Muslim community escalated drastically. This book provides a
comprehensive analysis of the nature of relations between the
Sinhalese and Muslims and the Tamils and Muslims, as well as the
nature and causes of post-war anti-Muslim riots.
