Title: Security, Development and Nation-Building in Timor-Leste: A Cross-sectoral Assessment.
Description: London & New York : Routledge, 2011. Hardcover. 288 pp.(Routledge Contemporary Southeast Asia Series). - 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. Library stamps. Dutch text. Condition : very good.
