  • Reforming Sri Lankan Presidentialism: Provenance, Problems and Prospects Volume 2
    Reforming Sri Lankan Presidentialism: Provenance, Problems and Prospects Edited by Asanga Welikala Volume 2 18 Failure of Quasi-Gaullist Presidentialism in Sri Lanka Suri Ratnapala Constitutional Choices Sri Lanka’s Constitution combines a presidential system selectively borrowed from the Gaullist Constitution of France with a system of proportional representation in Parliament. The scheme of proportional representation replaced the ‘first past the post’ elections of the independence constitution and of the first republican constitution of 1972. It is strongly favoured by minority parties and several minor parties that owe their very existence to proportional representation. The elective executive presidency, at least initially, enjoyed substantial minority support as the president is directly elected by a national electorate, making it hard for a candidate to win without minority support. (Sri Lanka’s ethnic minorities constitute about 25 per cent of the population.) However, there is a growing national consensus that the quasi-Gaullist experiment has failed. All major political parties have called for its replacement while in opposition although in government, they are invariably seduced to silence by the fruits of office. Assuming that there is political will and ability to change the system, what alternative model should the nation embrace? Constitutions of nations in the modern era tend fall into four categories. 1.! Various forms of authoritarian government. These include absolute monarchies (emirates and sultanates of the Islamic world), personal dictatorships, oligarchies, theocracies (Iran) and single party rule (remaining real or nominal communist states). 2.! Parliamentary government based on the Westminster system with a largely ceremonial constitutional monarch or president. Most Western European countries, India, Japan, Israel and many former British colonies have this model with local variations.

  • Colombo Final Plot Final
    U.S. Department of State Overseas Building Office Makayla Bellamy University of Virginia School of Architecture Juwan Palmer Felix Yizhou Li Systems, Sites and Building, Fall 2014 Colombo, Sri Lanka is the largest urban city on the island just off of the southern coast of India. The island has a history of immigration, trade, and colonial invasion, providing the city with a diverse variety of ethnic groups, languages, and religions. While the largest religion on the island is Buddhism, there is a large collections of Tamils and Muslims. The topography of Sri Lanka is classified into two regions; the dry-zone that stretches from north to southeast, and the wet-zone that stretches from west to south. The dry highlands consist of a variety of temples and man-made lakes, while the dry lowlands are preferred farmland. The wetlands consist of sites preferable for fishing, and tourist attracting beaches. This is where Colombo is located. The construction of Sri Lanka was based off of a hierarchical system, in which only buildings of high elite were designed to maintain permanence. This left many ruins throughout the island that are representative of this elite system. The architecture current- ly is mainly religious, and because of the high religious diversity, there is a diverse architectural landscape. Around the island, there is a large percentage of the poor that live in mud and thatched roof houses using designs that date back to ancient times. In Colombo however, there is a high percentage of lower middle class, most of which prefer white washed cements houses with polished cement floors.

  • Speech by H.E Mahinda Rajapaksa, Prime Minister of Sri Lanka
    Address by Hon. Mahinda Rajapaksa Prime Minister of Sri Lanka at the Inauguration of the 5th Council of Ministers of the Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation (IOR-ARC) 26th August 2004 Colombo, SRI LANKA Hon. Ministers Excellencies, Delegates to the 5th Meeting of the Council of Ministers Ladies & Gentlemen, It gives me great pleasure to inaugurate the 5th Meeting of the Council of ministers of the Indian Ocean Rim Association for Regional Cooperation. Let me first of all join with Hon. Lakshman Kadirgamar, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Sri Lanka, in extending to all of you a very warm welcome to Sri Lanka. This welcome, in the long-standing tradition of our island nation, is extended to all those who touch our shores from countries around the Indian Ocean. I wish you an enjoyable stay in Sri Lanka and a fruitful outcome of your meeting. The Indian Ocean Rim forms a distinctive geographical area comprising the coastal States bordering the Indian Ocean. It is a region of much diversity in terms of culture, race, religion and economic development as well as strategic interest. This area links the shores of three distinct continents of the world, Africa, Asia and Australia. In ancient times, the Indian Ocean was the hub of international trade when merchants and seafarers from Arabia on the western shores and from China in the Pacific Ocean traversed and dominated the trans-Indian ocean trade. Yet, our ocean waters remained unsullied by the degrading slave trade in the old days. The message of compassion and loving kindness was spread across this region by one of the greatest sons of South Asia, the Buddha, promoting the concept of peaceful coexistence and the path to happiness and contentment.

    CENTER FOR STRATEGIC AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES (CSIS) A YEAR AFTER THE CIVIL WAR: CHARTING SRI LANKA’S FUTURE WELCOME AND MODERATOR: TERESITA SCHAFFER, DIRECTOR, SOUTH ASIA PROGRAM, CSIS SPEAKER: GAMINI LAKSHMAN PEIRIS, MINISTER OF EXTERNAL AFFAIRS, DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF SRI LANKA TUESDAY, MAY 25, 2010 2:30 P.M. WASHINGTON, D.C. Transcript by Federal News Service Washington, D.C. TERESITA SCHAFFER: Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, and thank you very much for joining us. Those of you have been here before know that this is the CSIS South Asia Program and I’m Tesi Schaffer, the director. And you probably also know that I had the great pleasure of being U.S. ambassador in Sri Lanka from 1992 to 1995. And one of the particular pleasures of that job was my association with Professor G.L. Peiris in several different capacities during that time, initially as vice chancellor of Colombo University and a distinguished law professor – one of, I think it’s two, former Rhodes scholars in Sri Lanka – and subsequently, after he joined politics, as minister initially for constitutional affairs and then for commerce in the government that was headed, at the time, by Chandrika Kumaratunga. Professor Peiris, inside and outside of government, has always brought great intellectual distinction to what he has done. He was one of the architects of Chandrika Kumaratunga’s constitutional proposals at the time that the effort was on to negotiate a peace with the LTTE. We are now meeting at a very different time. The war was ultimately won on the battlefield rather than resolved at the negotiating table.
