Civil Society and the Peace Process in Sri Lanka
This collection explores the conventional history of the Sri Lankan civil war and peace process, and then examines what is left out of that narrative framework. The special issue aims to explore diverse regional aspects of civil society in Sri Lanka, which can help illuminate how ‘bottom-up’ social, economic and political processes can challenge the traditional ‘top-down’ elitist notions and create a new discourse for constructing a lasting peace…
Norway and the peace process in Sri Lanka
This article explores the motivations and rationale behind Norway's involvement in the Sri Lankan peace process. Although Norway was originally approached by the Kumaratunga government as a facilitator, her role has since had tacit approval from regional actors such as India, global actors such as the US and Britain, and domestic protagonists such as the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE). However, it has also encountered considerable opposi…
India in Sierra Leone
This article examines the contemporary debate over the use of ‘robust peacekeeping’, with particular reference to India's leadership of the UN mission in Sierra Leone (UNAMSIL). While the effectiveness of the mission took a decisive turn once UN troops intervened more ‘robustly’, there are wider consequences and lessons from such action that need to be considered by India and other leading contributors to peacekeeping operations. These include mo…

India and UN peacekeeping operations
In the context of post‐Cold War security structures, India is undergoing a major re‐evaluation of both its regional and global roles. In the past, participation in UN peacekeeping operations represented a significant means by which India could demonstrate both its Third World credentials and its continuing commitment to the ideals and ethos of the United Nations and the Non‐Aligned Movement. Since achieving independence in 1947, India has continu…
The Indian peace‐keeping force in Sri Lanka
The deployment of the Indian Peace‐Keeping Force (IPKF) in Sri Lanka, between 1987 and 1990, is examined here in relation to the long‐established principles that peacekeeping is conducted impartially, by consent, with minimum force, and on a multilateral basis frequently under the authority of the United Nations. Although it has been argued that the IPKF intervened in Sri Lanka by consent, as a consequence of the Indo‐Sri Lankan Accord of July 19…
