Après cette date, les demandes de protection internationale de ressortissants sri-lankais en France, devenu le premier pays de des- tination, se sont pourtant maintenues à un niveau très élevé, peu éloigné de la moyenne d’environ 3 500 demandes par an pour la période 2006-2010. L’OFPRA a traité ces demandes en continu. En 2010, le nombre de décisions prises par l’OFPRA, soit près de 2 900, a presque atteint le niveau des demandes (voir cartes infra). Le taux d’accord a été d’un cinquième des décisions prises en 2010 (24% en 2009), alors qu’il atteignait près du tiers des demandes dans les années antérieures à 2008, date de la précédente mission de l’OFPRA à Sri Lanka.

The copyright of this thesis rests with the author. Quotation from it is permitted, provided that full acknowledgement is made. This thesis may not be reproduced without my prior written consent. I warrant that this authorisation does not, to the best of my belief, infringe the rights of any third party. I declare that my thesis consists of 102,245 words. MADURIKA RASARATNAM 2 Abstract This dissertation examines the divergent trajectories of ethnic and national politics in the Tamil speaking regions of India and Sri Lanka. Despite comparable historical experiences and conditions, the south Indian Tamil speaking areas were peaceably accommodated within a pan-Indian framework whilst Sri Lankan politics was marked by escalating Tamil-Sinhala ethnic polarisation and violent conflict. The dissertation explains these contrasting outcomes by setting out a novel theoretical framework that draws on the work of Reinhart Koselleck and his analysis of the links between concepts and political conflict.
