| 摘要 | Despite their utility within specific contexts, theories centered on religion, colonialism, and caste and class cleavages are inadequate to explain Sri Lanka's complex and protracted ethnic conflict. Consequently, a more overarching framework, which argues that the two phases of Tamil mobilization--political and military--and the eventual push towards secession are a consequence of institutional decay, is utilized. The majority attempt to create a Sinhalese ethnocracy by marginalizing the minority Tamils within the context of a "control democracy" and the concomitant institutional decay is thus responsible for the durability and near intractability of Sri Lanka's bloody civil war. A devolved political structure that allows for a high degree of Tamil self-determination within a united Sri Lanka is called for in order to ensure the island's communal groups voluntarily coalesced. |
