At present European Union (EU) stands as an outstanding regional body with huge success in the world. South Asian integration has not yet completed the basic premises of economic integration and the aim of this paper is to comparatively analyze the two regional integration processes and to identify how far is it appropriate to adopt the European integration model to accelerate the South Asian integration in the future. One specific objectives of this paper is to identify the core differences between the two regional settings and next objective is to determine the theoretical relevance of certain existing theories in describing the two integration processes. Another specific objective is to evaluate the suitability of adopting EU model in South Asia and then to recommend the necessary reforms for South Asia to attain better integration. To that end the data triangulation method has been used to accumulate secondary data from multiple sources available in electronic and printed form including books, journals, web, reports, historical records and treaties. Qualitative content analysis has been used since this is a documentary analysis and Content analysis evaluate document texts and to test theoretical relevance to understand data more comprehensively and scientifically. It will test prevailing theories in different contexts when compare the categories of different settings. Key findings depicts that there is a sharp diversity between the EU and South Asian region in terms of trade, economic development, human development, industrialization, urbanization, trade liberalization, income levels, poverty alleviation and political integration. Amidst these differences the applicability of adopting the European model proves to be a failure due to many factors. The democratic nature of the countries and their practice of free market economic policies along with the successful resolutions for political tensions in Europe significantly caused the long term success of European integration whereas South Asian countries are suffering from huge diversities in economic, geographic, cultural, trade and military terms within the region and hesitate to cooperate with one another due to these differences. Indo-Pakistan political tensions blended with smaller states’ fear psychosis of Indian hegemony is the greatest constraint for better integration in South Asia. South Asia required rearranging the structure of its regional organization and opening avenues to discuss contentious issues among member states and needing to establish real democracies in their countries apart from building strong and reliable interactions among people to people contacts while adopting more comprehensive free market economic policies domestically.Item Human Ecology and Diseases Ecology: A Medico - Geographical Review(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Rathnasekara, S.R.L.S.Medical Geography is one of the main approaches to study disease ecology and related issues in current Geographical Research. Disease ecology has originated from human ecology and the human ecological processes have been helpful in generating some diseases where the humans and diseases environment. It is a known fact that the every health issues are connected with human ecology and diseases ecological background. This paper examines the relationship between human ecological process and diseases ecology through a medical geography approach using secondary data.Item Evaluation of the interventions performed by support agencies towards the impact of the quality of life of resettled IDPs(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Godagama, A.The IDP issue is a key challenge faced by countries that experienced wars and natural calamities. In this regard Sri Lanka too faced this challenge with a large number of IDPs where the national government and other organizations have taken the responsibility for providing protection and reconstructing their lives for achieving a lasting solution. This article focuses on what degree the interventions performed by governmental institutions and non-governmental organizations have impacted on the development of quality of life of resettled IDPs. The government was expected to play the pivotal role here. The non –governmental agencies were \ expected to support the IDPs by providing basic survival needs and interventions that can be useful for IDPs to revive their lost lives with dignity ensuring a QOL. In order to realize these objectives many agencies have been providing survival services mainly while some have been engaged in providing development support servicesItem ග‍්‍රන්ථ නිෂ්පාදනය සහ ප‍්‍රකාශනය පිළිබඳ අන්තර්ජාතික ප‍්‍රමිති(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Senanayake, S.M.T.N.Item පුද්ගල ආකල්ප සංවර්ධන ක‍්‍රියාවලිය සඳහා ජන කවියේ බලපෑම- අනුරාධපුර දිස්ත‍්‍රික්කයේ මානෑව ග‍්‍රාමයේ ජනකවිවලට විශේෂිතව(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Liyanage, D.Item Poverty impacts of agricultural trade liberalisation in Sri Lanka: A review of the literature(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Ranathunga, S.P.B.Any policy reform will bring positive impacts as well as adverse impacts to the society, depending on the economy and on the characteristics of the population group. The impacts of trade liberalisation, particularly the impact of trade policies in developed countries and inequality in developing economies, is strongly debated in the international trade and development arena. Objective of this paper is to present a comprehensive review of the theoretical and empirical literature on the effect of agricultural trade liberalisation on poverty, in particular, focusing in Sri Lanka. Methods used for analysing the complex poverty impacts of trade liberalisation include partial equilibrium models, econometric analysis, general equilibrium models, and micro/macro simulation models, which combine macro-level simulation with micro-level household models. Agricultural trade liberalisation in particular tends to adversely affect small farmers in developing countries while large scale farmers/producers and the farmers from developed countries gain through agricultural trade liberalisation. Therefore, agricultural trade liberalisation tends to supports consumers while adversely affecting rural producers. However, country-specific studies are needed to explore the outcomes for particular groups in particular countries. Each and every policy reform will bring positive impact as well as adverse impact to society, depending on the economy and on the characteristics of the population group.Item ශී‍්‍ර වික‍්‍රම රාජසිංහ රජු විසින් අනුගමනය කරන ලද ශාසනික ප‍්‍රතිපත්ති පිළිබ`ද අධ්‍යයනයක්(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Gunasinghe, E.W.A.H.C.Item Repatriation of Sri Lankan Refugees from South India in the Post-War Era(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Thalpawila, O.N.During the course of the protracted war in Sri Lanka, several displaced victims of the war entered as refugees and sought asylum in Tamil Nadu state in South India. The civil war ended in 2009 in Sri Lanka, following which peacebuilding and reconstruction works were started by the government. In the process of building peace in the post-war context, repatriation of Sri Lankan refugees was considered a primary task among other resettlement works required to restore normalcy to civilian life in the former war zones. The Government of Sri Lanka formally invited the refugees to return to their motherland and provided some assistance towards their passage. This paper looks at the progress of the repatriation process of Sri Lankan refugees from Tamil Nadu state in the post-war period. To address this task this paper uses primary and secondary data as appropriate.Item පැරණි ශ‍්‍රී ලංකාවේ නීතිය තුළ භාරතීය නීති ක‍්‍රම හා සිරිත් විරිත්(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Premarathne, G.M.U.Item මක්සිම් ගෝර්කි හෙවත් පෙෂ්කොෆ් අලෙක්සේයි මක්සිමොවිච් (1868-1936) ලේකඛයෙක්, නාට්‍ය රචකයෙක්, පුවත්පත් කලාවේදියෙක්(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Hemantha, S.Item ශ‍්‍රී ලංකාවේ ආර්ථික ප‍්‍රතිපත්ති හා 66 වසරක ආර්ථික ප‍්‍රගතිය පිළිබඳ විමසීමක්(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Henegedara, G.M.Item පුරාණ රෝහණයේ අධ්‍යාපනික පසුබිම(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Sewwandi, H.K.I.Item Representative Bureaucracy: Some Reflections of the Colonial Civil Service Administration in Sri Lanka(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Gunasekara, R.Bureaucracy plays a vital role, which is similar to that of the other major stakeholder in the field–politicians, in the policy making process. Therefore, likewise political representatives, bureaucracy should be characterized by the societal make-up in order to ensure democracy in the administration. In this context, the concept of representative bureaucracy has been significantly employed in both developed and developing countries to address the problems of diversity and particularly, guarantee the inclusiveness in the governmental services for a more responsive public administration. This paper examines the representative characteristics of the colonial bureaucracy following the structural and functional adjustments introduced to the early civil service administration of Sri Lanka. In this process, the main focus given towards redefine the concept of representative bureaucracy following the broad interpretations available over the notion of representation and concluded into two interrelated formations as passive and active representative bureaucracy in which bureaucrats share same demographic origins and policy outputs produce benefit for the people. Even though in a colonial context of administration, this study observed some commendable steps taken to ensure the passive-representative features of bureaucracy mainly through the system of recruitments and promotions, local administration and the process of Ceylonization of the Civil Service in Sri Lanka.Item සුඛමරණය, පිළිබඳ සදාචාර දාර්ශනික විමසුමක්(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) de Silva, D.D.R.Item ඡන්දදායක චර්යාව තීරණයවීමෙහිලා බලපාන සාධක(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Chinthani, H.A.I.Item Unique Features of Foreign Policy of UNP Regimes (1948 – 1965) and Bandaranaike Regimes (1956 – 1965)(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Madanayaka, S.A.K.Foreign policy is a key component of a state which represents the nature of its relations with the world.

This study has been conducted in order to “identify the common and unique features of the foreign policy of UNP regimes from 1948 -1965 and Bandaranaike regimes from 1956 – 1965.” The methodology that has followed for the study is qualitative in nature while only based on secondary data and used descriptive analysis. The study has been conducted as a comparison as well as contrast of the two regimes in the particular periods in order to find out the features. According to the study, during the period of 1948 to 1965, foreign policy of the most of UNP leaders were similar in nature with the distinctive feature of pro-western policy and anti-communist attitude. UNP regimes did not conduct firm relations with the India during the particular period. Foreign policy of the SLFP regimes was mainly characterized by the “nonalignment policy” which emphasized on equal relations with all the countries. At the same time specially, Mr.Bandaranaike had cordial relations with the communist countries as well as with India which was a great achievement in the foreign policy of Sri Lanka.Item වර්තමාන සමාජය තුල ළමා සුරක්ෂිතභාවය අහිමි වීම සදහා බලපාන සමාජ සාධක පිළිබඳ සමාජ විද්‍යාත්මක අධ්‍යයනයක්(Department of Economics, University of Kelaniya, 2016) Udayakanthi, T.G.D.
