Abstract

 

The liberation of both Northern and Eastern Provinces by the government forces brought to an end, age-long internal crisis in the South Asian island state of Sri Lanka. Though internal conflicts have ended in the country but the political, economic and social impacts they have caused in the life of the country still manifest in different aspects in the nation especially in the North and Eastern Provinces. Conducted with the used of qualitative research methodology, this work examined the political, economic and social impacts of internal crisis in the post 1977 era in Sri Lanka. Distortion of democratic institutions as well as political instability was part of the political impacts of the crisis. Channelization of development funds to funding military operations in the North and Eastern Provinces during the conflict were part of the economic impacts of the conflict while deterioration of social institutions especially health and the growth in number of Internal Displaced Persons (IDPs) who have not been completely resettled till date in both the North and Eastern Provinces of the country as this research found out were some of the social impacts of the conflicts. The research recommended the strengthening of democratic process to accommodate various political affiliations as well as reconciliation through ethnic harmony and the resettlement of Internal Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the North and Eastern Provinces as possible alternative to the resurgence of similar crisis in the near future.

Keywords: Conflict, Economic, Political, Social, and Sri Lanka.
