Sri Lanka's conflict and peace processes have gained global
attention during recent years. This book presents a comprehensive
insight into the politics of reconstruction and development in Sri
Lanka, focussing on the ceasefire which was negotiated between the
Government of Sri Lanka and the separatist Liberation Tigers of
Tamil Eelam in 2002 and which lasted until 2006. Based on extensive
empirical fieldwork, the book provides a unique ethnographic
account of this specific historical period of peace. It explains
how development was shaped by interplay and cooperation, but also
by the disparities and conflicts between a variety of local and
intervening actors, including local organizations and civil
society, LTTE, Government of Sri Lanka, international development
cooperation and the Tamil diaspora. Starting from an
interdisciplinary viewpoint, the author integrates findings from
development sociology with new perspectives on transnationalization
and the migration-development-nexus. This provides a fine grained
analysis of the emerging development visions and perspectives in
relation to transnationalization and global interconnectedness.
Making an innovative contribution by linking the analysis of local
reconstruction with contemporary phenomena of transnationalization,
diasporization, and globalization, this book will appeal to those
with an interest in Sociology, Social Anthropology and Political
Science.

"Indigeneity" has become a prominent yet contested concept in
national and international politics, as well as within the social
sciences. This edited volume draws from authors representing
different disciplines and perspectives, exploring the dependence of
indigeneity on varying sociopolitical contexts, actors, and
discourses with the ultimate goal of investigating the concept's
scientific and political potential.

Do the current changes of both geographical and symbolic boundaries
lead to the emergence of a world society? How do transnational
migration, communication and worldwide economic and political
networks manifest themselves in globalized modernity?
This book presents innovative contributions to transnationalization
research and world society theory based on empirical studies from
Asia, Africa, Latin America and Europe. Practicable methodologies
complete theoretical inquiries and provide examples of applied
research, which also might be used in teaching.
