Abstract:
Ethnic conflict had created political, economic,and security influences in Sri Lanka. From the late 1970s until 2009, the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam known as LTTE conducted a massive violent campaign against the government of Sri Lanka due to decades of political disparity and the policies of central government, political and economic disparity and repression. Brutal terrorist struggle expanded over 30 years, which made the country a war zone due to suicide bombings and other deadly
attacks. In 2006, the Sri Lankan military launched a major
offensive against the LTTE, bringing the entire country
under their control and defeating the LTTE militarily.
However, it is indicated that there could be a possible reemergence
of the LTTE cells in Sri Lanka. This study
identifies causes and effects of re-emergence of the LTTE
cells in Sri Lanka and how does terrorism re-emergence as
cells, a comparative analysis of terrorism perspectives.
Further, an analysis of these perspectives demonstrates
that due to long standing unsolved socio-economic and
political issues augmented with external factors such as
Tamil diaspora and Indian Tamil Nadu influence, could
contribute to re-emergence of LTTE cells in Sri Lanka. The
author will adopt mix method to gather data relevant to
the subject matter.
