This book presents a historical and analytical overview of social development in Sri Lanka within a social policy conceptual framework. Three distinct phases of development of social policy in the country are identified here. The author shows how Sri Lankan social development has since been reframed by a combination of neo-liberalism and a protracted civil war.
