This book examines the history of political continuity and conflict
in East Timor between 1974 and 2006, and the origins of an
unexpected crisis in 2006 which caused an international military
intervention and several more years of UN missions. Providing a
fresh and empirical political history to explain the crisis, the
book offers new dimensions to the understanding of East Timor, its
independence struggles, political transition and politics after
independence in 2002. The author revisits historical materials and
brings to light new resources, making extensive use of the 2005
Report of the Commission for Reception, Truth and Reconciliation
and contemporary diplomatic, UN and news media reports, to provide
a precise context and chronology for the events in 2006. The book
provides an analysis within which factors such as ethnic and
inter-communal violence, security sector weaknesses and conflict
between the army and police, the constitution and legal system,
state-building and peace-building can be located in the larger
context of the 2006 crisis. Demonstrating how and why, in the space
of four weeks in April and May 2006, the newly independent country
of Timor-Leste plunged from 'UN success story' into catastrophe,
this book will be of interest to academics working on Southeast
Asian Politics, Southeast Asian history, Development Studies and
Nation-, State- and Peace-Building and International Relations.
