    Extractions: Transportation Transportation in Sri Lanka depends heavily on busses and railways. The railway system is owned and operated by the government. Good national highways connect major cities. But the poor quality of most of Sri Lanka's other roads makes long-distance travel by road difficult in some areas. Most Sri Lankan people travel by buses. Many people in the cities own cars. The government owns and operates two major airlines, and there are some private airlines. SriLankan airlines provide international service to many countries. Economy - overview In 1977, Colombo abandoned statist economic policies and its import substitution trade policy for market-oriented policies and export-oriented trade. Sri Lanka's most dynamic sectors now are food processing, textiles and apparel, food and beverages, telecommunications, and insurance and banking. By 1996 plantation crops made up only 20% of exports (compared with 93% in 1970), while textiles and garments accounted for 63%. GDP grew at an average annual rate of 5.5% in the early 1990s until a drought and a deteriorating security situation lowered growth to 3.8% in 1996. The economy rebounded in 1997-2000 with average growth of 5.3%, but 2001 saw the first contraction in the country's history, -1.4%, due to a combination of power shortages, severe budgetary problems, the global slowdown, and continuing civil strife. Growth recovered to 3.2% in 2002. About 800,000 Sri Lankans work abroad, 90% in the Middle East. They send home about $1 billion a year.

    Extractions: Before the Second World War, the term "South-East Asia" was scarcely a geographic expression and was rarely used. The region of the peninsula between India and China was included in the term "Far East". Some authors called the region "Further India". During the Second World War, the Japanese Army used the term "Greater East Asia" to include countries of South-East Asia. The term "South-East Asia" is credited to the Indian historian K.M. Pannikar who used it in the title of his book "Future of Southeast Asia" published in 1943. Due to military and strategic considerations during the Second World War, the region came to be regarded as a separate geographic entity and the Allied Supreme Command adopted the term "South-East Asia". By the end of the war, the term was well established and was used as a collective for the peninsula between India and China. The countries include Brunei, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia. Some organizations include the Phillipines in South-East Asia.

    Extractions: She boasts a history of 2500 years, which began when the first Sinhalese arrived from Northern India. The island was ruled by numerous Sinhalese and Tamil kings throughout its history. The country was colonised for a period of 400 years, first by the Portuguese and then by the Dutch and the British. Sri Lanka obtained its independence from the British in 1948. The newly independent country adopted a British Westminster style Parliamentary system of governance with a Prime Minister as the Head of State. In 1978, Sri Lanka shifted to the French Parliamentary model with an Executive Presidential system. Sri Lanka liberalized its economy in the late 1970s ahead of the other development countries in the sub continent. It is today South Asia's most open economy and has a relatively well developed capital market and infrastructure especially in the sea-borne trade. For the last two decades successive Governments have worked towards liberalising and promoting free enterprise with emphasis on Private Sector investment. However, key public institutions still play a major roll in the trade activities of Sri Lanka.

    Extractions: Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition The Democratic A democracy is a form of government in which ordinary citizens may take part in governing, in contrast with monarchy or dictatorship. The word democracy originates from the Greek "demos" meaning "the people" and "kratein" meaning "to rule" or "the people to rule" which meant literally: "Rule by the People." The term is also sometimes used as a measurement of how much influence a people has over their government, as in how much democracy exists. Aristotle called democracy one the three evil forms of government (the other two: ochlocracy and tyranny). Anarchism employs a form of direct democracy, but has no state.

    http://www.csis.org/saprog/sam22.html
    
    Extractions: The dramatic advance of the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) into the Jaffna peninsula, the heart of the Tamil area, is a shattering blow for Sri Lanka's President Chandrika Kumaratunga and raises concerns of regional instability for India. The immediate danger is massive bloodshed, with upwards of 25,000 Sri Lankan troops still in Jaffna city and the risk of renewed ethnic violence in the rest of the country if they are killed in large numbers. In the longer term, the prospects for Sri Lanka's fragile peace efforts have been badly undercut. Reviving them will require a much more radical approach to power sharing than the government has been willing to consider in the past. This will be very hard to sell to both the Sinhalese political mainstream and the LTTE, but it will only get harder with time.

    Extractions: PEOPLE’S PEACE PLAN FOREWORD TO SARVODAYA PEACE ACTION PLAN Sri Lanka’s violent conflict is in its 18th year of existence, with no resolution in sight. Our country is not divided by territorial frontiers, but by boundaries in our hearts and minds. Our lives are changed forever by the trail of death and destruction this war leaves in its path. Lives of the young, the old, those who could have helped build our nation no one has been spared the brutality of this violent conflict. The victims of the war are not just the dead, not just the maimed, not just the orphaned and widowed the victims include all the rest of us who have been psychologically and spiritually scarred. Sarvodaya has always approached development and peace as an inseparable and integrated process. In August of 1999, Sarvodaya embarked on a new initiative to bring peace and reconciliation to this war torn country. Under the guidance of its founder and leader, Dr. A. T. Ariyaratne, and with the participation of over 170,000 from all walks of life, Sarvodaya launched its People’s Peace Initiative with a massive peace meditation. This event marked the beginning of a series of peace activities around the island, from regional peace meditations to economic, social, cultural and participatory democratic actions that address the long-term conflict related issues.

Methods include testing, examination, and utilization of GIS (Geographical Information Systems) for the study of settlement patterns especially those related to urbanization and state formation in the southern region. The GIS will be used for incorporating all known archaeological site data, especially from the prehistoric and proto-historic period to the 13th century. This is being compiled from existing data bases such as that maintained by the state Archaeological Department and the comprehensive map of "Ancient cities and settlements" prepared by the PGIAR for the National Atlas and updated in 1994.

    Extractions: Covering Political Violence: Focus Sri Lanka and the southern media grid, Chennai , Nov 29-Dec 1, 2002. It was organised in association with the Asian College of Journalism. It injected a ‘continuing professional education’ quality to workshop. Chennai as a venue made it possible for SAFHR to open up the inaugural session to the wider media and intellectual community of Chennai. In addition the closing event was transformed into a public forum for interaction between visiting media practitioners and ACJ students. The inaugural session was structured around the keynote address of Prof Jayadeva Uynagoda on ‘Understanding Political Violence in a Fragmented Environment: Shaping the political Discourse in Sri Lanka’. Deliberately SAFHR involved a non media professional to open up theme of the routinization of violence as the language of politics and its consequences for society’s brutalization and the difficulties of transitioning towards a post violence politics. Sri Lanka was a society coming out of 18 years of protracted violent conflict and the search was on for a transformative beyond violence politics that could recreate the political realm as a space for pluralist and emancipatory conversations across communities. A fundamentally disabling characteristic of the politics of violence is that it freezes all possibilities for communication across communities.
