Download or read book Security Development and Nation Building in Timor Leste written by Vandra Harris and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-03-29 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite Timor-Leste’s high expectations when it became independent from Indonesia in 2002, the country is ranked among the least developed countries in the world. It has found itself at the centre of international attention in the last decade, with one of the biggest interventions in UN history, as well as receiving amongst the highest per capita rates of bilateral assistance in the Asia-Pacific region. This book draws together the perspectives of practitioners, policy-makers and academics on the international efforts to rebuild one of the world’s newest nations. The contributors consider issues of peace-building, security and justice sector reform as well as human security in Timor-Leste, locating these in the broader context of building nation, stability and development. The book includes two demographic studies that can be used to critically examine the nation’s possible future. Engaging in deliberate consideration of both practical and theoretical complexities of international interventions, this book will be of interest to academics and students in the fields of Development, Security and Southeast Asian Studies.

Book excerpt: Timor-Leste has made impressive progress since its historic achievement of independence in 2002. From the instability that blighted its early years, the fledgling democratic country has achieved strong economic growth and a gradual reinstatement of essential social services. A decade on in 2012, Presidential and Parliamentary elections produced smooth political transitions and the extended UN peacekeeping presence in the country came to an end. But significant challenges remain. This book, a product of the inaugural Timor-Leste Update held at The Australian National University in 2013 to mark the end of Timor-Leste’s first decade as a new nation, brings together a vibrant collection of papers from leading and emerging scholars and policy analysts. Collectively, the chapters provide a set of critical reflections on recent political, economic and social developments in Timor-Leste. The volume also looks to the future, highlighting a range of transitions, prospects and undoubted challenges facing the nation over the next 5–10 years. Key themes that inform the collection include nation-building in the shadow of history, trends in economic development, stability and social cohesion, and citizenship, democracy and social inclusion. The book is an indispensable guide to contemporary Timor-Leste.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the direct outcome of a panel on Timor-Leste entitled «How to build a new nation?» and organized in September 2007 in the framework of the EUROSEAS Congress in Naples. Among the more than 40 panels held, Timor-Leste's had been remarkably dense, with 20 presentations given by American, Australian, Brazilian, East-Timorese, French, German, Portuguese and Spanish researchers. At the time of this congress, the major event of 2006, which two years after continued to be called “the crisis”, was still foremost in people's minds, conversations, and researches. While other events or forewarning episodes had taken place before that date, no doubt that the crisis of 2006/2007 had finally prove to be a turning point, for the country itself, and maybe even more so for international actors. Though presented at first as a United Nations' success story, especially when the territory was under UN management from October 1999 (withdrawal of the Indonesian army) until 20 May 2002 (independence of the country), the unity of Timor-Leste was then in peril, deceiving the expectations that had prevailed during the resistance years. Its climax was the conflict between “those from the West” and “those from the East” (“Loromonu-Lorosae” or Firaku-Kaladi), and a violence which caused a wave of internal refugees (around 150,000 IDP- Internally Displaced People). Beyond the causes and effects of this political and military crisis which had then spread to civil society, the “crisis” had also directly or indirectly revealed a certain number of dysfunctions, notably the deficiencies of the UN preparations of independence and of the capacity of East Timorese governing bodies to manage and organize the country.

Book excerpt: There is a growing consensus that the international community's nation-building efforts have disproportionately focused on state-building - developing the capacity of the state and its institutions. Peace and security have been inextricably linked to state-building, in particular to the construction of a liberal democratic state and institutions. However, identity-building - developing a unifying national political community - is also a fundamental process of nation-building. Identity-building legitimises and consolidates the nation-state, guarding it against further fragmentation. The thesis critically assesses nation-building in Timor-Leste. Peace and stability in Timor-Leste were under threat from internal forces and not external ones, as had been the case during periods of Portuguese colonialism and Indonesian occupation, only a few years after achieveing independence on 20 May 2002. The emergence of the so-called east-west divide between Timorese from the eastern region,lorosa'e, and those from the western region, loromonu, during the 2006 crisis in Timor-Leste indicates that identity-building in Timor-Leste is fragile or even failing. In the post-independence period, contemporary lorosa'e andloromonu identities have become politicised in a divisive national discourse about the competing roles played by both groups during the resistance movement. The developing national political community in Timor-Leste appears to be weak and unable to contain strong regional identities. The thesis examines the political significance of the east-west divide in the post-crisis period, exploring the implications of its ongoing significance for nation-building in Timor-Leste, in particular for identity-building. The thesis argues that the divide poses a critical challenge to the emergence of new narratives of nationalism which support reconciliation in the post-independence period and consequently, to the development of a cohesive national political community.
