The paper analyses the conflict between the Sri Lankan government and the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and also presents recommendations for intervention. The paper is structured on the SandoleCunningham-adapted 4-Pillar approach and covers analysis of the conflict as well as consideration and construction of useful modes for intervention and resolution. The paper begins with an analysis of the conflict itself—the main parties, the issues, objectives, means used, and orientations towards conflict and conflict resolution, as well as conflict and conflict resolution environments. A theoretical analysis of the conflict is also included with application of concepts, such as Basic Human Needs, Realistic Conflict and Social Identity Theory, Relative Deprivation, and Enemy System Dynamics. The historical roots of the conflict are explored in their social, political, religious and economic dimensions. An examination of the conflict process or conflict dynamics follows, including start-up conditions, conflict initiation, and periods of escalation and de-escalation. The paper also discusses interventions and attempts at resolution over the years. The final section of the paper contains proposals for peaceful resolution.
