Sri Lanka's Development Since Independence: Socio-economic Perspectives and AnalysesThis book provides an overview of the development of a small country, which on the one hand, is unique, and on the other hand, is also an interesting reflection and microcosm of the global economy. Sri Lanka's development is one of contrasts, complicated by social conflicts and ethnic tensions. The approach taken to analysing Sri Lanka's developments are considered as well as the evolution of science and arts in the development process. This is in accordance with the Sri Lankan tradition of seeing the world as a connected whole. |
