How Dudley Senanayake is discussed in this archive
Referenced in 2 other works — including NATIONALISATION AT THE CROSSROADS , and Congress Misrule and the Swatantra Alternative .
In Congress Misrule and the Swatantra Alternative : Senanayake's 1965 victory in Ceylon is cited as a regional precedent — a Congress-type government displaced by a liberal one — to demonstrate that Swatantra's democratic transition is electorally plausible, not utopian.
In NATIONALISATION AT THE CROSSROADS : Senanayake is cited as one of two Asian premiers (alongside U Nu) whose 1960 declarations are presented as public repudiations of nationalisation by governments that had earlier embraced it — international evidence for Desai's worldwide-retreat thesis.
