Bipolarité et pratiques successorales dans la démocratie sri lankaise

Éric Meyer
Résumé de l'article
The particularity of Sri Lanka is to associate family inheritance practices (established in 1952, four years after Independence) with a system of democratic changeover between two parties – UNP and SLFP – whose leaders were members, at least until 2005, of two family lines, respectively the Senanayake and the Bandaranaïke. For the latter, women have taken the succession – the founder’s widow and later his daughter– through a process somewhat akin to that in Bangladesh. Though the country has been facing severe crises since the 1970s – repeated rebellions by the JVP, a Singhalese guevarian organization, and later the armed separatist movement controlled by the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) -, these seem not to have fundamentally affected the inheritance mechanisms, which can be interpreted as long-term structural elements.
