Post-conflict Peace-building in Sri Lanka: An analysis of Transformative approach

Abstract

Peace-building is a condition in which long-lasting peace is established and preventing violence by analyzing the root causes of the conflict. Many of the third-world countries are tasked with peace-building after the 1990s. Internal conflicts and civil wars are common in these countries and most of them are the result of ethnic conflicts. Sri Lanka’s ethnic conflict which resulted in a three-year-long civil war ended in 2009. This article analyzes the peace-building process in Sri Lanka with the transformative theory of peace-building.
