    In pursuit of 1 Sri Lanka: Lessons from a Malaysian counterpart

    No full text
    The quest for national unity has become a leadership challenge for successive leaders of both Malaysia and Sri Lanka. While the two countries record significant differences in contexts and background, the similarities are equally striking. The following is an article that is based on a two-country study undertaken by the author to unpackage and explore the "1Malaysia" Programme that was launched in 2009 following the election of Malaysian Prime Minister's, Tun Najib Razak into his first term in office. The author spent a two week resident attachment at the 1Malayisa Foundation in Malaysia in the summer of 2012 to study further the facets of the governance programme that had been formulated with the intention of resolving the ethnic tensions that have plagued Malaysia since it gained independence, or Merdeka. The purpose of the endeavour was three-fold: First, to identify and extract aspects of the 1Malaysia Programme as relevant to the Sri Lankan context so as to formulate a potential 1Sri Lanka programme that is cognizant of the variables at stake. Secondly, the article seeks to critique the already existent framework of the 1Malaysia Programme by providing recommendations for improvement where necessary. Third, to begin dialogue and deliberations on the rich learning and exchange that can be cultivated between the two countries by providing a framework for bilateral cooperation between the Governments of Malaysia and Sri Lanka

    Promoting growth in Sri Lanka : lessons from East Asia

    Full text link
    Sri Lanka's weak economic performance, although compounded by the civil war and budgetary imbalance, largely reflects the following: 1) a stop-and-go pattern of policy reform, because of political constraints - even though the results of reform were generally positive; 2) weak economic management, resulting in high inflation and a high fiscal and balance of payments deficit; 3) poor management of public spending; 4) mixed performance in exchange-rate management, with periods of substantial overvaluation; 5) financial policies that (despite recent improvements) hamper efficient financial intermediation; 6) prolonged trade protection, followed by selective trade liberalization; 7) continued distortion in agricultural policies; 8) inflexible labor markets and, despite Sri Lanka's outstanding track record on human development, problems with the quality of the labor force. To address a substantially unfinished policy agenda, Sri Lanka needs to intensify efforts to peacefully resolve civil conflict. There is also a need to squarely address its macroeconomic imbalances, involving a sharp reduction in the fiscal deficit, a cutback on public spending and redefinition of spending priorities, improvement of cost recovery for public services, and continuing to improve the management of the exchange rate. In trade policy, eliminate most quanitative restrictions, further reduce tariff protection, simplify the tariff structure, and, possibly, reform customs (to reduce leakage and abuse). Rationalize employment, exit, and bankruptcy regulations and procedures. The authors recommend improvement in communications between government and the private sector. It is necessary for the financial sector to become more competitive by legislating banking reform, giving state-owned banks more autonomy and putting private commercial banks on an equal footing with the two state banks, with the ultimate goal of privatizing the state banks, and also strengthen the supervision of banking. Also in the financial sector the authors have identified a need for privatization in insurance and pension funds to strengthen the capital market. Several aspects of the agricultural sector need to be revamped. Primarily, privatization of the estate plantations, perhaps through long-term management contracts and the gradual sale of share in assets; reduced trade protection; implementation of land reform; strengthen agricultural support; and possibly support rural financing institutions. Lastly, the authors suggest an end to government controls on hiring, firing, and wage setting as well as rationalization in civil service employment decisions.Labor Policies,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Decentralization,Banks&Banking Reform,Banks&Banking Reform,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Achieving Shared Growth,Inequality

    No full text
    In this study the authors undertake an empirical investigation into the nexus between government education expenditure and economic growth in Sri Lanka during the period 1960-2015. The direct and indirect effects of government expenditure on economic growth are estimated. The impact of decentralization of education sector in1987 on these effects are analysed. Sri Lanka’s experience under decentralization (1988-2015) is compared to the experience of Canada (1990-2014). The study finds a negative direct effect and a positive indirect effect of education expenditure on economic growth in Sri Lanka, and a positive direct effect and a negative indirect effect in Canada. The study also finds a positive direct effect and a negative indirect effect of non-education expenditure of government on economic growth in Sri Lanka. Redirecting government expenditure in favour of education, without substantially improving factor productivities in education sector, will generate a negative impact on economic growth in Sri Lanka

    Sri Lanka’s water policy: themes and issues

    Full text link
    Fresh water resources in Sri Lanka remain a free public good with the State acting as the trustee and custodian of the resource. Although the country is blessed with a seemingly plentiful supply of water, it encounters severe problems of temporal and spatial scarcity. Nearly five decades of efforts at formulating a national water policy with a view to introducing a bulk water allocation system have failed mainly due to a lack of understanding of the basic issues confronting certain elements that constitute the basic policy. This paper presents selected key themes and issues which help stimulate the formulation and adoption of an improved water resource policy statement. The author argues that what is important in the case of water is not the question of ‘ownership’ of water but regulating the user rights of this common property resource, particularly since such use is always in a state of flux. In the course of its movement in the hydrological cycle, it can only be owned when it is captured in a receptacle or in an impounding tank or as treated water in a reservoir and water conveyed in an irrigation channel. But, it is this very right to abstraction of bulk water from its natural state that is not defined and left to the will of individuals and agencies – virtually resulting in the creation of a ‘free for all’ situation. While the domain of water is characterized by over 50 legislative enactments and a plethora of agencies numbering over 40, there isn’t a single neutral agency to determine the appropriate balance between the demands for off stream consumption and the volume of water flows needed by the river system. The objectives of this paper are: to clarify the meaning of the terms ‘ownership’, ‘user rights’, ‘common property rights’, and ‘right to water’; to analyze and suggest refinements to several water policy themes and issues such as ‘bulk water entitlements’, ‘groundwater management’ and ‘user conflicts’; to outline the roles of institutions for clarity in implementation; to suggest elements that should constitute a future water policy. A better understanding of the issues relating to this finite and vulnerable resource will help clarify the policy concerns that are constantly overlooked – intentionally or unintentionally - in the domain of water. Does Sri Lanka have the right water resource policies for the twenty-first century? Such concerns prompted policyholders to attempt several policy reforms in Sri Lanka’s water domain during the last five decades. Several United State Agency for International Development (USAID) and Asian Development Bank (ADB) efforts culminated in producing a ‘national water resources policy and institutional arrangement’ document with a water policy approved by the Cabinet of the Government of Sri Lanka in March 2000. Yet, public concerns expressed on certain sensitive issues, and the lack of consensus due to the changing hands of the subject of policy development among various successor ministries, resulted in the demise of this water policy formulation effort.Length: pp.113-126Water policyOwnershipGroundwater managementInstitutionsWater use

    Webometric Analysis of Institutions Involve in Environmental Science Related Research Publications in Sri Lanka (2003-2013)

    Webometrics is a new field of bibliometrics, which originated in 2004. Webometrics mainlyuse bibliometric techniques in order study the relationship of different sites on the WorldWide Web (www). Local and international online journals become very popular amongscientists, as an effective place to publish their research articles. Therefore new technologicaland statistical approaches (such as Web Impact Factors) were introduced to evaluate theseexpanding online publication systems. In this study webometric concepts were applied to theWorld Wide Web, to analyse the quantity (number of papers) and impact (citation indexes) ofSri Lankan research institutions in environment science sector.Environmental science is a multidisciplinary subject and, the definitions for environmentalscience depend on particular country, institutions and journals. For this research environmentscience was defined by using eighteen (18) key subjects. Based on those key words, onlinedata collection of Google Scholar was done with “Harzing's Publish or Perish-version 4.0.12”software, using a ten (10) year time window (2003-2013). Data collection was done up toindividual author level and for an each author, number of publications, number of citations,citation per paper, citation per year, citation per author,h-index, annual h-index werecalculated. Self-citations were manually omitted from the system. Based on the results eachinstitution was estimated quantitatively (using number of publications, authors) andqualitatively (using citation indexes, h- index).The Study analysed 41 Sri Lankan research institutions, and 25 of them producedenvironment science related research publications. It included 867 scientists in 14 localuniversities and 220 scientists belong to other research institutions. According to the results53.35% of Sri Lankan online research publications (2003-2013) belonged to EnvironmentScience.The average number of environment science related research publications publishedby a Sri Lankan university was 25.03 papers per year. The annual citation of a university was79.17. Average values for citation per paper and, citation per author were 2.23 and 5.76.Average annual h-index of a Sri Lankan university was 4.09. Other research institutions hadcomparatively lower values. Average number of environment science related researchpublications per institution per year was 4.92 papers and annual citation per institution was19.60 papers. Average values for citation per paper and citation per author were 4.68 and3.93. Obtained annual h-index value was 0.35Highest contribution for the Sri Lankan online research publication sector was given by theuniversities rather than the other semi-government and non-government research institutions.Quantity and the quality of the research publications of particular institution depend on manyfactors; such as number of researchers, importance of their research field, number of online journals published or contributed by the institution, reputation of the researchers and theinstitution, amount of annual investment allocating for research purposes and several otherfactors.
