Item The Second Wave of Liberalisation in Sri Lanka: 1989-1993 Reform and Governance(McMillan, 1999) Dunham, David; Kelegama, SamanItem Economic Costs of Conflict in Sri Lanka(World Peace Foundation and Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs and Brookings Institution Press, 1999) Kelegama, Saman'Sri Lanka’s long civil war has exacted an enormous economic cost in terms of lost productivity, lost investment and misallocated resources, resulting in a lower standard of living than would have been possible in a peacetime setting. Although ethnic conflict had taken place for several years, it became a burden on the economy only after 1983, when the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) commenced a guerrilla war against the state. For convenience of reference it is called the Ealam War (I, II and III). Eelam War I started in 1983 and continued until 1987 when the Indian Peace Keeping Force established itself in commanding positions in the north and the east. With the collapse of peace talks initiated in early 1990, Eelam War II started in June 1990 and continued until December 1994. Eelam War Ill, which commenced in mid-April 1995, continues to date. This chapter analyzes the economic aspects of the war, with special reference to Eelam wars I and II.Item The Impact of Privatization on Distributional Equity: The Case of Sri Lanka(Routledge, 1995) Kelegama, SamanThis paper will analyse the Sri Lankan experience within the framework outlined by Ramanadham (1993) in the working paper titled ‘The impact of privatization on distributional equity’.
