The idea emanates from ACCORD's mission to promote dialogue for the purpose of resolving conflicts and building peace. By introducing a few new contributors from Asia and Latin America, the editorial team endeavoured to foster a wider conversation on the way that conflict is evolving globally and to encourage dialogue among practitioners and academics beyond Africa. The contributions featured in this issue record unique, as well as common experiences, in conflict and conflict resolution. Finally, ACCORD would like to acknowledge the University of Uppsala's Department of Peace and Conflict Research (DPCR). Some of the contributors to this special issue are former participants in the department's Top-Level Seminars on Peace and Security, a Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) advanced international training programme. conflict trends I 1 EDITORIAL BY VASU GOUNDEN In the autumn of November 1989, a German continually construct walls in the name of security; colleague in Washington DC invited several of us walls that further divide us from each other so that we to an impromptu celebration to mark the collapse have even less opportunity to know, understand and of Germany’s Berlin Wall.

    Mega Cabinets in Sri Lanka (Report No 1) Perceptions and Implications This position paper is published under the ‘Ministerial Expenditure Monitoring’ programme of Transparency International Sri Lanka. It provides an analysis based on the findings of the programme to date on expenditure involved in maintaining a large cabinet in Sri Lanka within the current political and economic context. We acknowledge the team of researchers headed by Ms. Lakmini Seneviratne, (LL.B (Hons) (Colombo), LL.M (Harvard), Attorney-at-Law) consultant for the programme for the invaluable work done in this regard. Transparency International Sri Lanka 28/1, Buller’s Lane, Colombo 7. Tel./Fax : 0112-501474, 0112-592287 E-Mail : [email protected] Web : http://www.tisrilanka.org 1 Introduction Transparency International defines political corruption as “the misuse of political power for private benefit, in particular the benefits of power, status and wealth” 1. According to the definition, it takes two basic forms: corrupt accumulation and extraction and corruption for power preservation and expansion and includes situations where loopholes in national laws and regulations are deliberately side- stepped, ignored and custom-made. Notably, an idea survey conducted among a sample of the Sri Lankan public uncovered some common public perceptions on “ministers” in Sri Lanka, which while being predominantly pessimistic were significantly analogous to the TI definition with the use of terms such as “looter”, “liar, parliament, power, rich”, “crooks”, “big tummy-always shouting doing nothing”, “stupid”, “corruption”, “too many”, “bribery” etc. The Cabinet of Sri Lanka under Executive President Mahinda Rajapakse was sworn in on 23 rd November 2005 with 26 Ministers.

Socio-religious desegregation in an immediate postwar town Jaffna, Sri Lanka Delon MADAVAN PhD candidate and Junior Lecturer in Geography Université Paris-IV Sorbonne Laboratoire Espaces, Nature et Culture (UMR 8185) [email protected] Abstract The cease-fire agreement of 2002 between the Sri Lankan state and the separatist movement of Liberalisation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), was an opportunity to analyze the role of war and then of the cessation of fighting as a potential process of transformation of the segregation at Jaffna in the context of immediate post-war period. Indeed, the armed conflict (1987-2001), with the abolition of the caste system by the LTTE and repeated displacements of people, has been a breakdown for Jaffnese society. The weight of the hierarchical castes system and the one of religious communities, which partially determine the town's prewar population distribution, the choice of spouse, social networks of individuals, values and taboos of society, have been questioned as a result of the conflict.

  • (Lates Calcarifer) in Net Cages in Negombo Lagoon, Sri Lanka: Culture Practices, Fish Production and Profitability
    Journal of Aquatic Science and Marine Biology Volume 1, Issue 2, 2018, PP 20-26 Farming of Seabass (Lates calcarifer) in net cages in Negombo Lagoon, Sri Lanka: Culture practices, fish production and profitability H.S.W.A. Liyanage and K.B.C.Pushpalatha National Aquaculture Development Authority of Sri Lanka, 41/1, New Parliament Road, Pelawatta, Battaramulla, Sri Lanka *Corresponding Author: K.B.C.Pushpalatha, National Aquaculture Development Authority of Sri Lanka, 41/1, New Parliament Road, Pelawatta, Battaramulla, Sri Lanka. ABSTRACT Shrimp farming is the main coastal aquaculture activity and sea bass cage farming also recently started in Sri Lanka. Information pertaining to culture practices, fish production, financial returns and costs involved in respect of seabass cage farms operate in the Negombo lagoon were collected through administering a questionnaire. The survey covered 13 farms of varying sizes. The number of cages operated by an individual farmer or a family ranged from 2 – 13. Almost all the farmers in the lagoon used floating net cages, except for very few farmers, who use stationary cages. Net cages used by all the farmers found to be of uniform in size (3m x 3m x 2m) and stocking densities adapted in cages are also similar. Production of fish ranged between 300 to 400 Kg per grow-out cage. All seabass farmers in the Negombo lagoon entirely depend on fish waste/trash fish available in the Negombo fish market to feed the fish. Availability of these fish waste/trash fish at no cost to the farmers has made small scale seabass farming financially very attractive.
