Communal conflict, often enacted by a variety of informal groups such as gangs and martial arts groups, has been a constant feature of East Timor’s post-independence landscape. A focus on statebuilding, however, in academic discourse has largely overlooked this conflict, and the informal networks that drive Timorese politics and society. Drawing on over a decade of fieldwork, Scambary documents the range of different cultural and historical dynamics and identities that drive conflict, and by which local conflicts and non-state actors became linked to national conflict, and laid the foundations of a clientelist state.Verhandelingen van het Koninklijk Instituut voor Taal-, Land- en Volkenkunde311.Arts and revolutionsTimor-EastTimor-EastPolitics and government2002-Timor-EastSocial conditionsArts and revolutions.959.86Scambary James1706901NL-LeKBNL-LeKBBOOK9910810500503321Conflict, Identity, and State Formation in East Timor 2000 - 20174094699UNINA
