The unexpected chance for lasting peace and reconciliation in Sri Lanka that followed President Maithripala Sirisena's January 2015 election faces increasing turbulence. Initial moves by Sirisena's government halted and began to reverse the slide into authoritarianism and family rule under Mahinda Rajapaksa. Its reform agenda is ambitious: restoring the rule-of-law and ending impunity for corruption and abuse of power; a new constitution; a complex package of post-war reconciliation and justice mechanisms agreed with the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC); and major policy changes to jump-start a beleaguered economy. Progress, however, has been slower than key constituencies expected and lacks the coherence and resources needed to sustain it. The "national unity" government expanded the political centre and isolated hard-line nationalists, but the window for change has begun to close. Seizing Sri Lanka's unprecedented opportunity for reform requires bolder and better coordinated policies, backed by a public relations campaign to restore sagging popular support.
