内容説明

Regional Powers and Small State Security recounts India's involvement in the affairs of its much smaller neighbour, Sri Lanka, over the question of Tamil separatists in the northern and eastern parts of the island. K. M. de Silva first examines Indian regional ambitions and Indian-Sri Lankan relations during the cold war. He explores the origins of ethnic strife in Sri Lanka and the interests of lndia, with its own large Tamil population, in that strife. He then tells the story of lndia's involvement in three stages. From about 1980, India provided covert support for Sri Lanka's Tamil separatists operating from the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu. From 1983 to 1987, India attempted to serve as mediator between the separatists and the Sri Lankan government. From 1987 to 1990, India was a combatant against the separatists in Sri Lanka. The author has had special access to confidential Sri Lankan official sources. On the basis of those documents, he further interviewed all politicians and senior officials involved in negotiations on both the Indian and the Sri Lankan side. This book significantly broadens the base of information available for students of South Asia and of ethnic conflict.
