Timor-Leste: The History and Development of Asia s Newest Nation is
a study of how a small Asia-Pacific nation has emerged from
protracted conflict and successfully navigated a path to durable
peace and sustainable development. Despite early setbacks,
Timor-Leste has made an amazing turnaround and today finds itself
in a new era in which it will certainly continue its advance toward
the goal of long-term stability and prosperity, leaving permanently
behind the past that was once marked by a descending spiral of
destruction. Yet, a number of development challenges lie ahead for
Timor-Leste, particularly in strengthening human, institutional,
and infrastructural capacities in the short to medium term, and in
transforming the national economy from oil-based to more
diversified and better balanced in the longer run. Other countries
may draw valuable lessons from Timor-Leste s experience, especially
those that are emerging from as well as are currently affected by
conflict and instability. Such lessons would center on the
questions such as management of natural resources, empowerment of
the vulnerable, implementation of transparent and accountable
governance, advancement of women, and mobilization of civil society
and the public in general for democratization and the national
development process."
