About Book

This book analyzes the complex dynamics of international aid and peacebuilding initiatives in Sri Lanka, particularly during the civil war and the post-war recovery process. It critiques the effectiveness of external interventions in creating sustainable peace in the country and examines the resurgence of conflict despite such efforts. The author argues that these aid-driven peacebuilding projects often create a false sense of stability, which delays long-term solutions and prevents meaningful social and political change. Through the lens of Sri Lanka's post-conflict period, the book explores the limitations of peacebuilding strategies that fail to address deeper structural issues of inequality, political exclusion, and national identity.
