Abstract
Sri Lanka is one of the South Asian developing countries which experiencing a spectrum of socio-political and economic changes after the end of thirty years of civil war in 2009. During the war period approximately from 1983 to 2009, the country has had to face a range of influences from the outside actors as a developing country in terms of offensive and defensive interventions. With heightened the magnitude of consequences of interventions, the country experienced variegated impediments in plenty particularly in her development trajectory. Despite the facts that, on the other hand, the country had been received some of genuine assistants from many allies in terms of peace building. In this context, the objective of this work was to examine the foreign interventions in the Sri Lankan civil war in terms of internal socioeconomic and geopolitical predicaments. The geopolitical maps were prepared in ArcGIS 10.3 environment. The examined insights and ideologies were revealed that the foreign offensive interventions in which directly or indirectly linked with the peace processes have been made counterproductive consequences on her both the socio-economic and geopolitical context adversely. And also, some of the acts had helped to lengthen the civil war, on the one hand making it impasse in the peace negotiation process and on the other hand making the terrorists’ military prowess strong which affected the north-south livelihood and the economy continues unabated. The contemporary development trajectory of the country has been experiencing some of emerging trends with the equilibrium of considerable human development level. As a potential ally, current geopolitical role and geopolitical-codes of India is very crucial and important in the Sri Lankan development trajectory.
