As a historical study and platform for discourse The Sri Lankan Republic at 40: Reflections on Constitutional History, Theory and Practice is a substantial contribution, hopefully to be circulated to libraries and made available for study. It is a massive work, with some 123 pages of bibliography to the end. There appears to be numbering repetition in the final volume (with two chapter 23s) but any reader can sympathise with the state a proof reader might be in by that time. An index would be useful for the student or researcher – perhaps for the second edition some volunteers would come forward to help compile one. But all in all, a sterling achievement.Via http://groundviews.org/2013/05/22/review-of-the-sri-lankan-republic-at-40-reflections-on-constitutional-history-theory-and-practice-edited-by-asanga-welikala/Source: Groundviews et CPA
