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.

  • 2.53 Historical Significance of the Kingdom of Dambadeniya
    Proceedings of the Annual Research Symposium 2008- Faculty of Graduate Studies, University of Kelaniya 2.53 Historical significance of the kingdom of Dambadeniya J.M. Sudharmawathie1 Department of History , University of Kelaniya, Sri Lanka ABSTRACT Dambadeniya is the third kingdom of ancient Ceylon. It was situated in the Udukaha Western Korale of the Dambadeni Hatpattu in the Kurunegala district. As a result of the invasion of Rajarata by the Indian invader Kalinga Magha, the natives of the country were confronted with an unstable political atmosphere. Under the political upheaval in the regional administration there sprang up a novel political hegemony centralizing at Dambadeniya in the Mayarata. At first this place was chosen as a centre to establish his hegemony by Vijayabahu Ill in 1232 A.D. Parakramabahu ll, Vijayabahu IV and Buwanekabahu I were the successors of Vijayabahu Ill who ruled from Dambadeniya All these rulers belonged to the Dambadeni dynasty. Though Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa kingdoms survived for a long period of time, Dambadeniya was held as a kingdom only for about forty years from 1232 to 1272 A.D. Even within this short epoch Dambadeniya acquired a prominent place as a centre of royalty. Dambadeni rulers were able to confront successfully all three foreign invasions carried out respectively by Kalinga Magha from South India, Chandrabanu from East Asia and Pandya from South India. As a kingdom assoeiated with a number of important occurrences of the country's history, it is important to study the historical significance of the Dambadeniya Kingdom. This inquiry was based on primary and secondary sources as well as on archaeological surveys.

  • The Cost of Production of Rice in Kegalle and Kurunegala Districts of Sri Lanka
    The Cost of Production of Rice in Kegalle and Kurunegala Districts of Sri Lanka M.M.M. Aheeyar G.M. Henegedara L.P. Rupasena Suggested citation: Aheeyar, M.M.M, Henegedara, G.M and L.P. Rupasena, 2006. Factors Affecting the Cost of Production of Rice in Sri Lanka: Case of Kurunegala and Kegalle Districts, Research Report No: 115, HARTI, Colombo, Sri Lanka The Cost of Production of Rice in Kegalle and Kurunegala Districts of Sri Lanka Abstract The study provides a detailed investigation on the cost of production of paddy farming in Kegalle and Kurunegala districts of Sri Lanka. The main focus of the investigation was to analyze the factors affecting the variation in cost of production of paddy in Sri Lanka with a special reference to different agro-climatic zones and water regimes. The research methodology was based on literature reviews, questionnaire survey and participatory research techniques. The questionnaire survey was conducted using multistage stratified random sampling techniques. Sample size was 120 and 90 farm families from the Kurunegala and Kegalle districts respectively, which represented major irrigation, minor irrigation and rainfed areas. According to the frontier production analysis, mean technical efficiency is not closer to 1 in any study location indicating that paddy cultivation is technically not fully efficient I all locations. Nevertheless, paddy cultivation is relatively efficient in major irrigation areas ((0.76) compared to the minor irrigation (0.61) and rainfed areas (0.68) of Kurunegala district. However, average technical efficiency in the rainfed areas of Kegalle district is only 0.54. The multiple regression analysis indicates that land size has a significant impact on increased production in all areas.
