About this title

Synopsis

On the political conditions in Sri Lanka after civil war in 1983 and its effect on development; a study.

About the Author

John Richardson's writing, teaching and consulting apply
systems analysis principles to the nexus of conflict, terrorism and
development. Paradise Poisoned culminates nearly twenty years of work in
this arena. Dr. Richardson has been visiting and writing about Sri Lanka
since 1987, using the island nation's turbulent political-economic history
as a lens through which to view international development issues. Earlier,
he was a major contributor to the nascent field of global modeling,
focusing on population-resource-environment interrelationships.

Dr. Richardson is Professor of International Development in American
University's School of International Service and Director of the
University's Center for Teaching Excellence. Previously he held faculty
appointments in political science and systems engineering at Case Western
Reserve University and visiting appointments at the University of Colombo
(Sri Lanka) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Among books that he has authored, co-authored, or co-edited by are:

Partners in Development (1969)
Groping in the Dark: The First Decade of Global Modeling (1982)
Ending Hunger: An Idea Whose Time has Come (1985)
Democratization in South Asia: The First Fifty Years (1998)
