Sommario/riassunto

After enduring years of conflict and destruction, Timor-Leste has risen from the ashes and, within a short span of time, made remarkable strides toward recovery and reconstruction. It is today a nation well on its way to peace and prosperity, creating an example to be followed by other fragile and underdeveloped countries. Timor-Leste: The History and Development of Asia's Newest Nation examines this journey through the social, political, and economic development of the young



state.
