“Since the end of the war in 2009, Sri Lanka has been assertively seeking to reshape its socio-economic topography in line with its ambitious Ten-Year Development Framework that demands the holistic re-casting of the island as a modern economic and industrial hub. This vision for Sri Lanka as the ‘Emerging Wonder of Asia, has seen to the design and implementation of expansive infrastructure-centred mega development projects. This paper examines three such ventures: the extensive remodelling of Hambantota, the proposed Sampur coal power plant and industrial park, and the Kalpitiya Integrated Tourism Development Project. These projects will be considered as examples of two key development strategies adopted by the government of Sri Lanka, namely the creation of specialised economic zones and luxury tourism enclaves, which have both physically displaced and alienated local communities from related processes in violation of their human, social and economic rights.
