This book draws lessons from the story of Sri Lanka's post-conflict
development in the context of a struggle for socio-political
reconciliation, a turbulent world economy, and difficult internal
and external political challenges. Heightened volatility in the
global economy and intensifying geopolitical rivalries pose complex
policy challenges for small countries embarking on post-conflict
daunting challenges. To sustain peace, development needed to be
broad based and inclusive. It needed to rapidly reconstruct
war-devastated regions, restore macroeconomic stability, while
delivering a 'peace dividend'. The book contains contributions that
highlight Sri Lanka's endeavours of coping with adverse shocks,
while exploiting new opportunities. It showcases how the island
country had to attract capital and assistance, and support of the
international community, including that of the rising Asian giants
- China and India. Addressing the post-conflict challenges of
sourcing development finance in a new global financial and
political landscape, the book would be of interest to researchers
working on post-conflict development in the context of a volatile
global economy and changing aid architecture, and would also act as
an important resource for policy makers.
