Visits to Qatar SL and Maldives
Report on Visits to Qatar, Sri Lanka & Maldives By Prof. I M Dharmadasa (Dharme) (13 – 31 July 2010) I normally make at least one visit every year to Sri Lanka to continue and monitor my on-going solar energy research activities and renewable energy application projects. This work commenced in the early 1990s through an HE-Link programme and it has successfully sustained to date with the collaboration of Sri Lankan universities, other institutes and also Government Ministries. The research and application programme has extended to many other countries through SAREP network and my visit in July 2010, covered three countries; Qatar, Sri Lanka and Maldives. The main events, which took place during these visits are summarised in this report. Qatar (13 - 15 July 2010) My solar energy research group at Sheffield Hallam University is establishing a strong collaboration with the "Education City" in Qatar, through the activities with Qatar University. This city has great interest in solar energy research and applications, and therefore the collaboration with Dr. Saud Ghani at Qatar University is developing rapidly. A joint research proposal has been submitted to Qatar Research Fund (QRF) for the third cycle, but was not successful due to few shortcomings. This first visit to Qatar University was made to discuss and rectify these shortcomings, observe the facilities available in the Qatar University and to arrange a re-submission after improvements to the QRF-fourth cycle call. Planned public awareness activities did not take place due to the summer vacation of the University. This opportunity enabled to discuss the future research activities, application programmes and the development proposal with the main collaborating staff member. -

Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Committee Report
IDSA Issue Brief IDSIDSAA ISSUEISSUE BRIEFBRIEF1 Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Committee Report: A Valuable Process than an End Product Amali Wedagedara Amali Wedagedara is Visiting Fellow at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi February 01, 2012 Summary The Report of the Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Committee (LLRC), which was made public in December 2011, is a major achievement for post- war Sri Lanka. Mandated to generate a report on the facts and circumstances which led to the failure of the Ceasefire Agreement and the sequence of events that followed till the end of the war—whether any person, group or institution directly or indirectly bears responsibility, institutional, administrative and legislative measures which need to be taken in order to prevent any recurrence of such concerns in the future, and to promote further national unity and reconciliation among communities—the Commission’s Report met with comment, criticism as well as appreciation within Sri Lanka and in the international community. The Report brings in representations from all sections of Sri Lankan society and provides a series of recommendations on issues of dispute, the situation on the ground, and the need for reconciliation, amity, and national harmony. When all issues are taken into consideration, the progressiveness of the Report lies more in the process it created and the multiple narratives it brought in from the periphery, rather than as an end product in itself. Disclaimer: Views expressed in IDSA’s publications and on its website are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the IDSA or the Government of India. -

Guardians of Childhood
Guardians of Childhood: State, Class and Morality in a Sri Lankan Bureaucracy Harini Amarasuriya PhD. The University of Edinburgh and Queen Margaret University 2010 Declaration I declare that this thesis has been entirely composed by me and is my own original work with acknowledgement of other sources, and that the work has not been submitted for any other degree or professional qualification Signed: Date: Dedication For my parents: for their love, support and for allowing Pippin to take over their home (and lives) during my long absences Abstract This thesis explores the everyday practices, relationships and interactions in a Probation Unit of the Department of Probation and Child Care Services in the Central Province in Sri Lanka. Using multi-sited ethnography and the ethnographer’s own experiences in this sector it examines how frontline workers at the Probation Unit engage and draw upon international and national development discourse, ideas and theories of children and childhood to engage with colleagues and clients. This thesis takes as its analytical starting point that state agencies are sites where global development discourse meets local practices. Simultaneously, they are sites where ideas and practices of nationalism, class, morality and professional identity are produced and reproduced. State sector employment is an important source of social mobility, gaining respectability and constructing a middle class identity. Thus, maintaining the ‘in-between’ position in relation to the upper and lower classes is an especially anxiety-ridden and challenging process for state bureaucrats. This shapes the particular characteristics of their nationalism, morality and professional identity and influences the way in which they translate policies and engage with institutional and bureaucratic procedures.
