Welcome
Charles Darwin University, in conjunction with the Australian National University and the Timor Institute of Development Studies, hosted an international conference entitled Democratic Governance in Timor Leste: Reconciling the Local and the National on 7 and 8 February, 2008.
This conference follows the successful one-day symposium of November 2006 and the subsequent book, The Crisis in Timor-Leste: Understanding the Past, Imagining the Future.
The 2008 conference focused on how the process of ‘nation building’ might be envisaged given the international, national and local expectations that press upon the Timor Leste Government and parliament.
Papers from the conference are now available in book form from CDU Press. For more information visit the CDU Press website.
