Annotation
The period between 2001 and 2006 saw the rise and fall of an internationally supported effort to bring a protacted violent confict in Sri Lanka to a peaceful resolution. A ceasefire agreement, signed in february 2002, was followed by six rounds pf peace talks, but growing political violence, disagreements over core issues and a fragmentation of the constituencies of the key parties led to an eventual breakdown. In the wake of the failed peace process a new government pursued a highly effective "war for peace" leading to the military defat of the LTTE on the battlefields of the northeast in May 2009. This books bring together a unique range of perspectives on this problematic and ultimately unsucessful peace process.
