This sociolegal study focuses on the political, legal and
institutional problems and dilemmas of regulating land tenure. By
studying the development of the Timorese formal land tenure system,
this book engages in the larger debate about the role of state
systems in addressing and aggravating social problems such as
insecurity, poverty, inequality, destruction of nature, and
cultural and social estrangement. Land tenure issues in Timor-Leste
are complex and deeply shaped by the nation's history. Taking an
insider's perspective based on the author's experience in Timorese
state administration, and through the investigation of five
analytical themes -political environment, lawmaking, legal
framework, institutional framework, and social relationships and
practices- this book studies the development of the Timorese formal
land tenure system from independence in 2002 to 2018. It shows how
political, legal, and administrative decisions on land
administration are made, what and who influences them, which
problems and dilemmas emerge, and how the formal system works in
practice. The result is a portrait of a young nation grappling with
the enormous task of creating a land tenure system that can address
the needs of its citizens in the wake of centuries of
socio-political tumult and huge fluctuations in resources. The book
concludes by highlighting the importance of lawmaking and how
abuses of power can be curbed by adequate administrative processes
and laws. Finally, it argues that land administration is primarily
a political matter. The political dimension of technical solutions
must be considered if we aim to achieve fairer formal land tenure
systems. The pertinence of the topics covered, the
multi-disciplinary perspective, and the research methodology
followed make this book appealing to a variety of readers,
including international organizations, practitioners, academics and
students engaged in land administration, post-colonial and
-conflict issues, lawmaking, rule of law, public administration and
issues of access and exclusion.
