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. Cite This Article As: Baba I, Abeysinghe C (2017). The Political, Economic and Social Impacts of Internal Crisis (Including North and East) In Post 1977 Era in Sri Lanka. Inter. J. Polit. Sci. Develop. 5(3): 80-91
