Episode Synopsis

In this episode, Syed Mohammad Ali writes about Sri Lanka’s protracted civil war, and how the country is facing an economic crisis alongside social and political unrest. These problems, as deeply rooted as they are, have opened a window of opportunity for the United States to offer assistance in regaining stability in Sri Lanka – a development that would serve Washington’s goal of strengthening its presence in the region amid a great power competition.
