  • (Since 1917), and Later Still Battenberg
    THE 23RD COMMONWEALTH TOURNÉE WILL TAKE PLACE IN COLOMBO, SRI LANKA ON 15-17 NOVEMBER 2013 by Dr George Venturini * Cast of characters: Elizabeth Alexandra Mary Hanover-Saxe-Coburg-Gotha, later Windsor (since 1917), and later still Battenberg (since 1947) in the part of Elizabeth the Second, by the Grace of God Queen of the United Kingdom and Her other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth. In that capacity she officiated in Perth, Western Australia on 28 and 29 October 2011 for the 22nd Tournée. Elizabeth II is also Queen of Australia, of former Dominions such as Canada, New Zealand, as well as villes du plaisir et de débauche for the privileged such as Antigua and Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Grenada, Jamaica, and fortunate places such as Papua New Guinea, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu, in each of which she is represented by a Governor-General. Elizabeth II holds a variety of other positions, among them Supreme Governor of the Church of England, Duke of Normandy, Lord of Mann, and Paramount Chief of Fiji. Her Majesty is also styled Duke of Lancaster, Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of many of her realms, Lord Admiral of the United Kingdom, Defender of the Faith in various realms for differing reasons. Neither Elizabeth II nor her husband (and second cousin once removed as well as third cousin - and that may go a long way in explaining Prince Charles and much of the other progeny), Philip Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg known as Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, will take part in the Tournée, as they had done in Australia in 2011 at the declared cost - according to the Australian government - of AU$ 58 million.

  • Post-Conflict Sri Lanka: the Lack of Mental Health Research and Resources Among Affected Populations
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4 No. 3; February 2014 Post-Conflict Sri Lanka: The Lack of Mental Health Research and Resources among Affected Populations Jeavana Sritharan PhD Student, University of Toronto Canada Ashvinie Sritharan BSc Student, University of Ottawa Canada Abstract This paper examines the available published literature on the post-conflict and tsunami disaster mental health concerns in Sri Lanka. By identifying relevant findings from literature published near the end of the war in 2009 and onwards, important gaps in mental health research and resources can be assessed. PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycINFO were assessed to identify all published articles available from 2009-01-01 onwards. Studies included in this paper discuss mental health programs and understanding related to communities, children, pregnant women, health care workers, and soldiers. It is clear that research gaps are present among all elements of mental health issues especially concerning the post-conflict situation. With the lack of appropriate mental health research and resources available in Sri Lanka, future studies need to incorporate up to date understanding and knowledge to improve mental health interventions and evaluations in Sri Lanka. Key words: Sri Lanka, mental health, post-war, post-conflict 1. Introduction The year 2009 was the mark of the end of the 26 year civil war on the island of Sri Lanka. A civil war as such understandably leaves behind questions about health effects and outcomes relating to the physical, psychological, and emotional aspects of victims, communities, and families. Any kind of war can have shattering effects on the overall health and well-being of members of the affected nation.

  • Aid Barriers and the Rise of Philanthropic Protectionism
    International Journal of Not-for-Profit Law / vol. 17, no. 1, March 2015 / 1 AID BARRIERS AND THE RISE OF PHILANTHROPIC PROTECTIONISM 1 DOUGLAS RUTZEN A Russian bird group was deemed a “foreign agent.”2 Ethiopian human rights organizations were forced to curtail their activities because of a government-imposed cap on foreign funding.3 In India, the Sierra Club was barred from receiving funding from abroad.4 Around the world, countries are burdening the ability of civil society organizations to receive cross-border philanthropy. This article presents the macro- political context underlying these restrictions. It then categorizes constraints, summarizes governmental justifications, and analyzes restrictions under international law. The final section summarizes conclusions and areas for further scholarship. Background Twenty years ago, the world was in the midst of an “associational revolution.”5 Internationally, civil society organizations (CSOs)6 had a generally positive aura, recognized for their important contributions to health, education, culture, economic development, and a host of other publicly beneficial objectives. In addition, political theorists associated civil society with 1 The author is President and CEO of the International Center for Not-for-Profit Law (ICNL, www.icnl.org).

  • Foreign Direct Investment in Sri Lanka: Determinants and Impact
    Foreign Direct Investment in Sri Lanka: Determinants and Impact Konara Mudiyanselage Palitha Senarath Bandara Konara Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of York Management September 2013 1 Abstract Sri Lanka is a relatively small sized island economy possessing significant resource and location advantages and demonstrating impressive human capital indicators, which only few countries are fortunate to have. At the same time, the country is recovering from nearly three decades of civil war, which ended in 2009. However, Sri Lanka has performed poorly in terms of attracting FDI. Research in FDI in the context of Sri Lanka is limited. Only a handful of studies (Wijeweera & Mounter, 2008; Athukorala & Jayasuriya, 2004; Athukorala, 2003; Athukorala, 1995) have looked at FDI in the context of Sri Lanka. To fill the research gap, this thesis attempts to formulate systematic and in-depth studies of FDI in Sri Lanka, investigating the determinants, impact and policy issues. First, efforts are made to provide an analytical piece that set out the environmental context of Sri Lanka before providing details focusing on FDI. This is followed by three empirical chapters on the determinants and impact of FDI in Sri Lanka. With regard to determinants of FDI, special attention is given to civil war, human capital and stock market price level. For the impact, the focus is on the impact of FDI on productivity. Civil war is a major source of political instability and is likely to discourage FDI. Based on the nearly three decades of civil war in Sri Lanka during the period of 1983-2009, the first empirical study demonstrates that presence of war can have a negative effect on incoming FDI.
