Spiritual Ecologies and Customary Governance in Post-conflict East Timor

该项目研究了冲突后东帝汶“回归习俗”的动态：一套将祖屋社区与人们的生计和福祉所依赖的复杂生态联系起来的做法。该项目计划利用广泛的背景经验和详细的比较研究，审议习俗及其代际遗产对制定可持续社会和环境治理政策的贡献。该项目旨在及时研究冲突后社会的社会复兴，并促进东帝汶和更广泛区域可持续环境和资源管理的可能性。

This project examines the dynamics of a 'return to custom’ in post-conflict East Timor: a set of practices connecting ancestral house communities with complex ecologies upon which people's livelihoods and well-being depend. Drawing on extensive background experience and detailed comparative studies, the project plans to consider the contribution of custom and its inter-generational legacies to the development of sustainable social and environmental policies of governance. The project is designed to be both a timely study of social renewal in post-conflict societies, and a contribution to the possibilities of sustainable environmental and resource management in East Timor and the wider region.
