ISAS Special Reports

In November 2024, ISAS and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung hosted a closed-door roundtable titled ‘Sri Lanka after the Elections: Governance in a Time of Crisis’. Distinguished speakers from Sri Lanka and Singapore discussed the new government’s historic victory and challenges. They analysed several pertinent issues, including economic inequality, International Monetary Fund revenue targets, austerity measures and ethnic conflict. The roundtable also evaluated the impact of protests and patronage politics, offering insights into prospects for democratic reforms and structural change.
