Reflecting on the legacies of Timor-Leste's remarkable journey from
colonialism to sovereign and democratic Independence, the Routledge
Handbook of Contemporary Timor-Leste provides a comprehensive and
up-to-date reference work on all aspects of life in Timor-Leste.
Following an introduction and overview of the country, the Handbook
is divided into five parts: Politics and governance Economics and
development Social policies and the terms of inclusion Cultural
impacts Regional relations Written by an international team of
experts, the Handbook covers the principle concerns that have
contributed significantly to the shape and character of
contemporary Timor-Leste. It offers a timely and valuable reference
guide for students, scholars and policymakers with an interest in
International Relations, Southeast Asian Studies and Peace Studies.
This book presents a rich ethnography of post-conflict social and
economic recovery in East Timor following the end of Indonesian
military occupation of the territory in 1999. It offers a
longer-term analysis of the pathways to rebuilding and restoring
local community life, and the budding prosperity that has flowed
from participation in spontaneous circular labour migration and the
remittance benefits that have followed. Based on extensive
comparative literature and field-based empirical research, the book
explores the protracted process of cultural and economic revival
following a generation-long period of military repression and a
sustained struggle for national independence. With a focus on the
experiences of Fataluku ethno-linguistic communities in
Timor-Leste, the study offers nuanced perspectives on the legacies
of conflict and local forms of governance, the revitalisation of
customary exchange and ancestral religion. Presenting both an
optimistic and alternative narrative in which a traumatised
population finds new hope and emergent prosperity, this book
highlights a renewed concern with inter-generational well-being and
widespread aspirations for prosperity and material benefits
following decades of deprivation. It is also an analysis of
post-conflict resilience against the odds, illustrating the
adaptive possibilities of tradition in the context of globalisation
and expectations of modernity. As a major contribution to
understanding the emergence and expansion of informal transnational
labour migration out of East Timor, this book will be of interest
to academics, researchers and policy makers of contemporary
Timor-Leste, Southeast Asian Politics, Southeast Asian Culture and
Society, Development Studies, Anthropology and Conflict Studies.
Peace-building in a number of contemporary contexts involves
fragile states, influential customary systems and histories of land
conflict arising from mass population displacement. This book is a
timely response to the increased international focus on
peace-building problems arising from population displacement and
post-conflict state fragility. It considers the relationship
between property and resilient customary systems in
conflict-affected East Timor. The chapters include micro-studies of
customary land and population displacement during the periods of
Portuguese colonization and Indonesian military occupation. There
is also analysis of the development of laws relating to customary
land in independent East Timor (Timor Leste). The book fills a gap
in socio-legal literature on property, custom and peace-building
and is of interest to property scholars, anthropologists, and
academics and practitioners in the emerging field of peace and
conflict studies.

This comprehensive volume reviews our understanding of the origin
and evolution of elements, from stellar nucleosynthesis to the
chemical evolution of the cosmos. With chapters by leading
authorities in the field, it describes models of how the elements
are produced by stars, the nuclear processes involved, and how the
quantity of elements evolved in our Galaxy and distant galaxies.
The observed chemical composition of stars in different locations
within our Galaxy and nearby galaxies is discussed, as are the
compositions of hot and cold gases, of dust grains found between
stars and in meteorites, and of the integrated light from distant
galaxies and quasars. This authoritative volume is a valuable
resource for graduate students and professional research
astronomers.
