Sri-Lankan Democracy
The particularity of Sri Lanka is to associate family inheritance practices (established in 1952, four years after Independence) with a
system of democratic changeover between two parties – UNP and SLFP –
whose leaders were members, at least until 2005, of two family lines, respectively the Senanayake and the Bandaranaïke. For the latter, women have
taken the succession – the founder’s widow and later his daughter– through a
process somewhat akin to that in Bangladesh. Though the country has been
facing severe crises since the 1970s – repeated rebellions by the JVP, a Singhalese guevarian organization, and later the armed separatist movement
controlled by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) -, these seem
not to have fundamentally affected the inheritance mechanisms, which can be
interpreted as long-term structural elements. |
