Abstract
A UK-brokered deal between Sri Lanka’s two main Sinhalese parties has increased the chances that a coherent package of political autonomy for the Tamils will be presented to parliament or directly to the people via a referendum in the coming months. But while the peace process has been reinvigorated following successes by the Sri Lankan military, such as the capture of the Jaffna peninsula, the main Tamil insurgent group, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) has shown few signs of willingness to negotiate seriously. With the Army overstretched, however, and the economy creaking from the strains of the insurgency, President Chandrika Kumaratunga’s government has few options but to search for a political settlement.
