Download or read book East Timor Travel and Tourism written by Frank Macdonald and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Timor Travel and Tourism. The Complete History, People and Tradition. Timor-Leste (East Timor) is, as the name would suggest, the eastern part of the island of Timor, which is surrounded by Indonesia. This location has dictated much of the island's culture and way of life, yet it is the catholic faith of the people in Timor-Leste that gave them political independence from Indonesia. The similarities between the people of Timor-Leste and Indonesia are many, particularly the similarities with the people of Timor island who are citizens of Indonesia. These similarities come in numerous forms, including culture, lifestyle, language, foods, and more. However, the people of Timor-Leste strongly identify with Catholicism and this difference was enough to separate the two nations politically. Since independence, the people of Timor-Leste have slowly developed a culture and way of life that differentiates themselves from the people of Indonesia. The lands of Timor Island are rich and fertile as are the nearby seas. Throughout most of the island's history, the people lived much as other people in the larger archipelago have lived, which is surviving off the land and the sea. The people of Timor, like many other people in the region, had limited contact with outside people so their lifestyle changed little over the years as they had limited contact with outsiders.

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.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of East Timor written by Geoffrey C. Gunn and published by Scarecrow Press. This book was released on 2010-12-18 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: East Timor, also known as Timor-Leste, comprises the eastern half of the island of Timor, located at the eastern end of the Indonesian archipelago. East Timor was among the last of colonial territories to become independent, and it actually had to be liberated twice. First, after more than four centuries of Portuguese colonial rule, it achieved independence in 1975 only to be invaded and occupied by Indonesia. After a blood-soaked occupation of 24 years and following intense international pressure, the Jakarta-regime only grudgingly allowed East Timor to form a nation of its own in 1999. Since then, the new state has faced further armed clashes and is only now able to seriously engage in nation-building. Historical Dictionary of East Timor relates the turbulent history of this country through a chronology, an introductory essay, an expansive bibliography, and over 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries on significant persons, events, places, organizations, and other aspects of East Timor history from the earliest times to the present.
