The author has documented these events and issues in his articles, retaining a clear eye for fact where so many have been persuaded by a regrettable, often confrontational, emotion. For anyone wanting to understand post-LTTE war Sri Lanka, these articles offer invaluable insight. For anyone wanting to understand Sri Lanka's place in the wider geo-strategic field, and to get a glimpse of how global politics can play out in a corner of the world, these articles are enlightening. Damien Kingsbury Personal Chair, Professor of International Politics Deakin University, Australia How did the Sri Lankan government and military get away with their copiously documented war crimes in the early months of 2009, as they crushed the Tamil Tiger rebels with disproportionate and indiscriminate military force? Duplicity, delay and defiance in its political positioning, together with rival geostrategic designs by global powers, has enabled the island state to avoid meaningful accountability, according to this astute and informative collection of articles by Ana Pararajasingham. Associate Professor Jake Lynch, University of Sydney, Winner of the 2017 Luxembourg Peace Prize Department of Peace and Conflict Studies The essays put together are excellent in that they provide a detailed understanding of the situation faced by the Tamils in the North of Sri Lanka. The book also looks at the global politics where Sri Lanka finds itself with India, China and the United States and their rivalry in that part of the world.
