Book Synopsis Rhetoric and the Decolonization and Recolonization of East Timor by : David Hicks
Download or read book Rhetoric and the Decolonization and Recolonization of East Timor written by David Hicks and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the end of the 1960s the process of decolonization had practically run its course in Southeast Asia. One exception, however, was tiny Portuguese Timor, where notions of self-determination and independence had yet to be generated. In 1974, the Carnation Revolution in Portugal brought about the end of fifty years of dictatorship, and halfway around the world, presented a new opportunity to a small, ambitious proportion of the Timorese population, eager to shape the future of their country. This book presents a compelling and original perspective on the critical period of 1974-1975 in the history of East Timor. It describes how the language of politics helped to shape the events that brought about the decolonization of Portuguese Timor, its brief independence as The Democratic Republic of East Timor, and its recolonization by an Asian neighbour. Further, it challenges the idea that this period of history was infused by the spirit of nationalism in which the majority Timorese partook, and which contended with other competing western –isms, including colonialism, communism, neo-colonialism, and fascism. In contrast, the book argues that the Timorese majority had little understanding of any of these alien political abstractions and that the period can be most effectively explained and understood in terms of the contrast between the political culture of Dili, the capital, and the political culture of the rest of the country. In turn, David Hicks highlights how the period of 1974-1975 can offer lessons to government and international policy-makers alike who are trying to bring about a transformation in governance from the traditional to the legal and convert individuals from peasants to citizens. The result of extensive fieldwork and interviews, this book will be of interest to students and scholars of Southeast Asian studies, international relations, post-conflict studies and post-colonial studies.
Book Synopsis The Promise of Prosperity by : Judith Bovensiepen
Download or read book The Promise of Prosperity written by Judith Bovensiepen and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the people of Timor-Leste, independence promised a fundamental transformation from foreign occupation to self-rule, from brutality to respect for basic rights, and from poverty to prosperity. In the eyes of the country’s political leaders, revenue from the country’s oil and gas reserves is the means by which that transformation could be effected. Over the past decade, they have formulated ambitious plans for state-led development projects and rapid economic growth. Paradoxically, these modernist visions are simultaneously informed by and contradict ideas stemming from custom, religion, accountability and responsibility to future generations. This book explores how the promise of prosperity informs policy and how policy debates shape expectations about the future in one of the world’s newest and poorest nation-states.

Download or read book Palop-Tl written by Ioannis Vasileiou and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PALOP-TL comprises five Arican countries (Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique and Sao Tome and Principe) as well as Timor-Leste which is located in Southeast Asia. Incontrovertibly, these countries are characterized by numerous differences with regard to both the economic and the sociopolitical sphere. Nonetheless, these differences do not hamper the satisfactory functioning of PALOP-TL, the significance of which is highly probable to be increased in the near future. Two are the dominant objectives of this book. The first is the meticulous presentation of the profiles of the six PALOP-TL member states, followed by an extensive comparative analysis in order for a number of interesting conclusions to be effectively drawn. The second objective is the painstaking scrutiny with regard to PALOP-TL's highly systematic attempts to significantly enhance its cooperation with the EU. And, according to our hitherto conducted research, the principal conclusion we can draw is that this collaboration is gradually flourishing, providing us with numerous positive messages for a more heartening future.

Download or read book Step by Step written by Jude Conway and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On 30th August 1999, the East Timorese people voted overwhelmingly in a United Nations sponsored referendum for independence from Indonesia. This was an unbelievable win by an oppressed people. Even the most optimistic person would never have dreamed that independence could happen so quickly after years of struggle for a seemingly impossible cause. This compilation provides the opportunity for thirteen outspoken East Timorese women to tell their life stories: what it was like living in a Portuguese colony; how they were affected by the Indonesian invasion; what day to day life was like under the occupation or in the diaspora; how they contributed to the resistance; and how they have adapted to the stark contrast of independence. These are the stories of Céu Lopes Federer, Dulce Vitor, Maria Dias, Laura Soares Abrantes, Domingas 'Micato' Fernandes Alves, Cesarina Rocha, Carolina do Rosário, Mica Barreto, Lucia Lobato, Isabel 'Beba' Sequeira, Ina Varella Bradridge, Luisa Ferreira Exposto and Filomena Reis. 'These ... are the stories of individual women, but much more than that, they document the recent history of the world's newest nation, Timor-Leste... All the stories are of resistance, adaptation and survival... [and] inspire faith in the power of Timorese women to effect positive change of the kind that will transform lives and lead Timor-Leste to a future of health, dignity and wellbeing for all of its citizens.' - Kirsty Sword Gusmão. 'My story starts in 1975 in Portuguese East Timor. At this time East Timor in its innocence knew nothing of the ravages soon to be inflicted. It was a sleepy little colonial island, with whitewashed buildings, and drinkable water from every tap, that everyone back then took for granted.' - Cesarina Rocha.

Download or read book A New Era? written by Sue Ingram and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2015-09-17 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Book Synopsis Networked Governance of Freedom and Tyranny by : John Braithwaite
Download or read book Networked Governance of Freedom and Tyranny written by John Braithwaite and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 388 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new approach to the extraordinary story of Timor-Leste. The Indonesian invasion of the former Portuguese colony in 1975 was widely considered to have permanently crushed the Timorese independence movement. Initial international condemnation of the invasion was quickly replaced by widespread acceptance of Indonesian sovereignty. But inside Timor-Leste various resistance networks maintained their struggle, against all odds. Twenty-four years later, the Timorese were allowed to choose their political future and the new country of Timor-Leste came into being in 2002. This book presents freedom in Timor-Leste as an accomplishment of networked governance, arguing that weak networks are capable of controlling strong tyrannies. Yet, as events in Timor-Leste since independence show, the nodes of networks of freedom can themselves become nodes of tyranny. The authors argue that constant renewal of liberation networks is critical for peace with justice - feminist networks for the liberation of women, preventive diplomacy networks for liberation of victims of war, village development networks, civil society networks. Constant renewal of the separation of powers is also necessary. A case is made for a different way of seeing the separation of powers as constitutive of the republican ideal of freedom as non-domination. The book is also a critique of realism as a theory of international affairs and of the limits of reforming tyranny through the centralised agency of a state sovereign. Reversal of Indonesia's 1975 invasion of Timor-Leste was an implausible accomplishment. Among the things that achieved it was principled engagement with Indonesia and its democracy movement by the Timor resistance. Unprincipled engagement by Australia and the United States in particular allowed the 1975 invasion to occur. The book argues that when the international community regulates tyranny responsively, with principled engagement, there is hope for a domestic politics of nonviolent transformation for freedom and justice.

Book Synopsis East Timor at the Crossroads by : Peter Carey
Download or read book East Timor at the Crossroads written by Peter Carey and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1995-09-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a rapidly changing post-Cost War world, where many age-old conflicts and injustices are at last being put to rights, East Timor stands out as a still unresolved tragedy. In the past twenty years (1975–95), this former Portuguese colony has been under Indonesian military occupation, an occupation responsible for the death of over 200,000 of its inhabitants (a third of its pre-1975 population) and the destruction of much of its indigenous society. Yet, despite enormous odds, the people of East Timor continue to fight for the independence which was denied them in the mid-1970s. Twenty years on, there is now a very real chance for a new beginning in East Timor. This book, which brings together contributions by both East Timorese and Western specialists of East Timor, provides a compelling account of the process by which a once isolated and traditional society has been forged into a nation with a deep sense of its own identity rooted it its unique religious, cultural, linguistic, and historical heritage. Indonesia is at last beginning to realize the cost of Third World colonialism, and its Western allies are becoming less tolerant of its ‘security state’ methods. The last section of this book considers the new diplomatic initiatives which are currently in train, under the auspices of the UN, to bring about a resolution to the Timor problem without jeopardizing the integrity of the Indonesian Republic. An extensive bibliography of titles on East Timor published between 1970 and 1994 will prove especially useful for scholars.
