        Summary
        This thesis seeks to shed light on the crossroads between globalisation studies and disaster studies by analysing the collaborations between tsunami survivors, organisations, government, and other stakeholders in southern Sri Lanka. It aims at demonstrating how these collaborations facilitate, limit, and generally give shape to recovery. It argues that that recovery is possible not in spite, but because of cultural diversity. Recovery is approached as a collective effort that is continually negotiated and contested.
