When the United Nations and a multitude of bilateral, multilateral, and non-governmental organisations arrived in Timor-Leste in 1999, it was hoped that the international intervention would at last produce a development success story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIndependence also brought with it the realisation that dreams for an independent Timor-Leste varied, often according to their generation. Three generations of Timorese—the political elite, a younger generation of independence activists known as the \u003cem\u003egerasaun foun\u003c\/em\u003e, and today's youth of independent Timor-Leste—each bring their own experiences and face different challenges in Timor-Leste. Today, stark contrasts between the values of customary life and those of the modernising world place both community leaders and young Timorese at a crossroads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe experiences of the Timorese are unique, but this book reflects a broader analysis of how aid-influenced processes of development can work in greater harmony with the people to realise their own visions of the future of the nation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46829829226732,"sku":"9780980510874","price":47.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2259513482537.jpg?v=1758263137"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/ann-wigglesworth.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
