Liberation struggle or terrorism? The politics of naming the ltte

Suppression of phase separation in InGaN layers grown on lattice-matched ZnO substrates

“…The band gaps of InGaN alloys cover a wide spectral range from infrared (InN) to ultraviolet (GaN) and are widely used in solidstate light sources such as light-emitting diodes and laser diodes [1,2]. InGaN is an efficient blue emitter, but efficiency decreases when higher indium concentrations are used to produce green light [3].…”

The Canadian Tamil Diaspora and the Politics of Multiculturalism

“…Studies on the Tamil Diaspora have focused on its role in advancing Tamil nationalist interests, supporting the LTTE and the struggles of its refugees (e.g., Fuglerand 1999Fuglerand , 2001Fuglerand , 2006Hyndman 2003;Wayland 2004;Fair 2005;Gronseth 2006;Beiser et al 2003;Cheran 2007;Orjuela 2008;Nadarajah and Sriskandarajah, 2005;Sriskandarajah 2002). By contrast, I sketch the terms of Tamil diasporic engagement in Toronto at the turn of the Sri Lankan struggle to foreground the contested and transnational character of Canadian multiculturalism.…”

The Soft Power of a Small State: Discursive Constructions and Institutional Practices of Norway's Peace Engagement

Nadarajah and Sriskandarajah (2005) observe that the strategy of labelling LTTE as a terrorist organisation has been applied by the GOSL since the late 1970s. This did not necessarily limit the LTTE's military capability but it certainly undermined LTTEs international legitimacy and proclaimed political project of national liberation.…”

“…However, the assumption that it would be possible to craft peace through internationally facilitated elite negotiations and aid-funded peace building, were complicated and undermined by the contextual politics of state and market reforms, as outlined above (Bastian, 2007;Shanmugaratnam, 2008;Stokke, 2009;Stokke and Uyangoda, 2011). When the peace negotiations between the GOSL and the LTTE (2002)(2003) First, it can be observed that the US-initiated 'war on terror' provided a legitimising framework for labelling, proscribing, and attacking the LTTE as a 'terrorist' organisation (Nadarajah and Sriskandarajah, 2005). Prior to the Al Qaida attack in New York City on September 11, 2001, intrastate conflicts at the periphery of the world order were generally not construed as international security problems.…”
