Independent Timor-Leste : Between Coercion and Consent Paperback / softback
by Douglas (National University of Singapore) Kammen
Part of the Elements in Politics and Society in Southeast Asia series
Paperback / softback
Description
This Element explores the primary modes by which rulers have exercised power and shaped political relations in Timor-Leste across four distinct periods.
The contrast between coercion under colonial rule and consent expressed through the 1999 referendum on independence exerted a powerful influence on scholarship on Timor-Leste's politics and future.
Since the restoration of independence in 2002, however, politics in Timor-Leste are best understood in terms of powerful economic constraints during the first Fretilin government (2002-6), and thereafter, thanks to revenue from the country's petroleum reserves, a ruling strategy based on a wide range of inducements (rather than genuine consent).
