Abstract

The Rajapaksa government consolidated its position with new laws, special task forces, and public-sector appointments. With the opposition wiped out, Sri Lanka now has a unipolar political landscape. Two successive waves of COVID-19 infections caused a rising death toll and necessitated severe lockdowns. The resulting economic problems exposed structural weaknesses in Sri Lanka’s macroeconomic constellation, with depleting foreign exchange and an acute debt burden. These interlocking crises triggered new forms of protest and a new convergence of previously disparate societal opposition.

2021年的斯里兰卡

拉贾帕克萨政府通过新的法律、特别工作组和公共部门任命巩固了自己的地位。随着反对派被消灭，斯里兰卡现在的政治格局是单极的。连续两波COVID-19感染导致死亡人数不断上升，并导致了严重的封锁。由此产生的经济问题暴露了斯里兰卡宏观经济体系的结构性弱点，造成外汇枯竭和严重的债务负担。这些环环相扣的危机引发了新的抗议形式，并将以前完全不同的社会反对力量融合在一起。

期刊介绍： The only academic journal of its kind produced in the United States, Asian Survey provides a comprehensive retrospective of contemporary international relations within South, Southeast, and East Asian nations. As the Asian community’s matrix of activities becomes increasingly complex, it is essential to have a sourcebook for sound analysis of current events, governmental policies, socio-economic development, and financial institutions. In Asian Survey you’ll find that sourcebook. Asian Survey consistently publishes articles by leading American and foreign scholars, whose views supplement and contest meanings disseminated by the media.
