A Collection of Views on the Peace Process – in Sinhala

A Collection of Views on the Peace Process – in Sinhala

These articles are unique for their representation of unity in diversity of the subject matter. In this collection of articles you come across many prominent scholars in the country. The diversity of this collection of articles itself amply demonstrates that the peace building process in Sri Lanka does not move in a straight line and instead it traverses a much contorted and complicated terrain.

On the other hand these articles shows that assisting in peace building does not mean an unconditional agreement for it but a peace process also should be able to incorporate a variety of critical view into it.

The purpose of this book is not only to highlight the complexities involved in the process of consensus-building between the two major political formations which have alternated being in power since the time of independence, but to also draw on the contributions made at the seminar series as a means of providing a possible basis for future negotiations.
