Interview with Peter Weinberger on Sri Lanka

 

August 7, 2009

USIP’s Peter Weinberger in July 2009 provides background on Sri Lanka’s internal conflict and the army’s victory against the rebel Tamil Tiger force, and then discusses post-conflict reconciliation and rebuilding efforts in a country with different ethnic, religious and minority groups.  Peter also talks about his course, "Engaging with Identity-Based Differences," which outlines strategies for practitioners whose peacebuilding work requires them to interact with religious, ethnic, tribal, and minority groups.
