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).
