  • Asia's Maritime Networks
    New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies 6, 2 (December, 2004): 63-94. ASIA’S MARITIME NETWORKS AND THE COLONIAL PUBLIC SPHERE, 1840-1920 MARK RAVINDER FROST1 National University of Singapore The idea that the sea unites rather than segregates territories and regions, through the linkages created by maritime networks, has been a feature of modern history writing since Fernand Braudel’s magnificent The Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World. Braudel himself wrote that the sea was ‘the great divider, the obstacle that had to be overcome’.2 By the end of the nineteenth century, it must have seemed to many in Britain and its colonies in Asia that the sea was an obstacle that had been largely tamed by imperial endeavour and the new technologies it wielded. Steam navigation, underwater telegraphy and the Suez Canal functioned as the industrial arteries of the British Empire and the expanding world economy. Rather than the great ‘divider’, the sea had become the great unifier of British imperial possessions. Such mastery of the ocean space was as crucial a feature in the development of the British Empire as were its successful conquests on land and studies devoted to the means by which this dominance was achieved now form an important element in our understanding of European expansion. At the same time, this line of research signals a shift away from discussions of the colonial encounter that are limited largely to the territorial boundaries of modern nation-states. The development of improved communications across the Atlantic Ocean from 1685 to 1750, for instance, is now seen to have been of fundamental significance in the emergence of the First British Empire.

  • Tigers Tamed, but What Next?
    Tigers Tamed, but What Next? N Manoharan Introduction Ethnic conflict in Sri Lanka turned violent since the late 1970s as radicalised Sri Lankan Tamil youth resorted to armed means. Belief in militancy and sympathy for militants gradually rose among the Tamils, especially after ethnic riots of 1983. With the massive ingress of Sri Lankan Tamil refugees after the 1983 riots, India could not “remain unaffected by the events.”1 New Delhi, in view of its national security interests and stability in the region, offered its good offices to resolve the conflict. The failure of various peace missions prompted India to enter into an accord with Sri Lanka in July 1987 “to establish peace and normalcy” in the Island.2 In a surprising turn of events, the Sri Lankan state turned against India and secretly aided the Liberation of Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) against the Indian Peace-keeping Force (IPKF).3 However, within a short span of the IPKF’s departure, ‘Eelam War–II’ broke out between the LTTE and the Sri Lankan security forces in June 1990. The new government under Chandrika Kumaratunga in 1994 seriously initiated talks with the LTTE based on comprehensive devolution proposals. The talks, however, broke down due to the LTTE’s obduracy. Gradually, Chandrika became convinced of the rightness of the “war-for-peace” programme after the security forces achieved some spectacular victories in 1995 and early 1996 that included wresting of Jaffna from the LTTE. But the government forces started facing reverses starting from July 1996. On 22 February 2002, with the Norwegian mediation, a ceasefire agreement (CFA) was signed between the government of Sri Lanka (GOSL) headed by Ranil Wickremasinghe and the LTTE.
