(2009). Military Defeat of the Tamil Tigers: From Velvet Glove to Iron Fist. (RSIS Commentaries, No. 050). RSIS Commentaries. Singapore: Nanyang Technological University. | Series/Report no.: | RSIS Commentaries, 050-09 | Abstract: | The prevalent wisdom in Counterinsurgency (COIN) theory is that the ‘Iron-Fisted’ approach to defeating insurgencies is counter-productive. The recent success of the Sri Lanka Armed Forces (SLAF) suggests that under the right conditions, a decisive battlefield victory is possible. But will this translate into an enduring resolution? | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/82463 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/40050 |
