After the crisis: Nation-building challenges in East Timor

鉴于国际稳定部队介入的重大承诺，东帝汶的国家和国家建设仍然是澳大利亚政策制定者的高度优先事项。该项目将审查危机后东帝汶的三个关键国家建设议程，重点是2009-11年间国家权力下放、与传统当局关系的演变以及危机后冲突解决方案等关键领域。通过这样做，该项目将有助于更好地了解导致国家失败的前置因素，直接联系到澳大利亚政府最近对“脆弱国家”及其可能破坏地区安全环境稳定的政策的担忧。

Given the substantial commitment of International Stabilisation Force intervention, nation and state building in East Timor remains a high priority for Australian policy makers. This project will examine three key nation-building agendas in post-crisis East Timor, focusing on the key areas of decentralisation of state authority, evolving relationships with traditional authorities, and post-crisis conflict resolution programs, over the period of 2009-11. In so doing, the project will contribute to a better understanding of antecedent factors to state failure, linking directly with recent Australian government policy concerns over 'fragile states', and their potential to destabilise the regional security environment.
