Abstract

This study analyzes the civil-military relations in Sri Lanka’s Northern Province after the 2009 conflict between the central government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) by drawing upon the theories of Alfred Stepan and David Pion-Berlin and Harold Trinkunas. Stepan posited that there were two dimensions that shaped civil-military relationships: military contestation and prerogatives. This study’s analysis of these two dimensions in the case of Sri Lanka’s Northern Province shows that the civil-military relationship in the region takes shape in the unequal civilian accommodation type. This analysis corresponds to Pion-Berlin and Trinkunas’ theory that high levels of crisis coupled with weak civilian control would pave the way for the military to take on extensive domestic roles and intervene in civilian affairs. This research employs a qualitative method through the examination of existing literature and documents.
民主统治下不平等的平民安置:政府与猛虎组织冲突后斯里兰卡北部省份的案例
本研究运用Alfred Stepan、David Pion-Berlin和Harold Trinkunas的理论,分析了2009年斯里兰卡中央政府与泰米尔伊拉姆猛虎解放组织(LTTE)冲突后,斯里兰卡北部省的军民关系。斯捷潘认为,军民关系有两个维度:军事竞争和特权。本研究以斯里兰卡北部省为例对这两个方面的分析表明,该地区的文武关系是以不平等的平民住宿类型形成的。这一分析与Pion-Berlin和Trinkunas的理论相一致,即高度的危机加上薄弱的文官控制将为军方承担广泛的国内角色和干预民事事务铺平道路。本研究通过对现有文献和文件的检查,采用定性的方法。
