Nation Building

Priorities for Sustainability and Inclusivity

This book on Nation Building consists of a series of essays by an eminent group of scholars and civil society leaders that addresses several critical challenges faced by Sri Lanka in the political, economic and social spheres. 

“The book demonstrates how a well-designed process of this nature by itself, can develop the framework of values and the mode of communication that cut across the divisions in our society and define the common ground that can help to form a unifying national identity.”

– Dr Godfrey Gunatilleke
