In the eyes of the country?s political leaders, revenue from the country?s oil and gas reserves is the means by which that transformation could be effected. Over the past decade, they have formulated ambitious plans for state-led development projects and rapid economic growth. Paradoxically, these modernist visions are simultaneously informed by and contradict ideas stemming from custom, religion, accountability and responsibility to future generations. This book explores how the promise of prosperity informs policy and how policy debates shape expectations about the future in one of the world?s newest and poorest nation-states. 410 0$aPacific series. 606 $aDeveloping countries$2bicssc 606 $aIndigenous peoples$2bicssc 606 $aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography$2bicssc 607 $aTimor-Leste$xPolitics and government 607 $aTimor-Leste$xEconomic conditions 610 $aTimor-Leste 610 $aSocial Policy 610 $aEconomic Development 610 $aOil 615 7$aDeveloping countries 615 7$aIndigenous peoples 615 7$aSocial & cultural anthropology, ethnography 676 $a959.86 700 $aBovensiepen$b Judith$4edt$01370195 702 $aBovensiepen$b Judith M. 712 02$aAustralian National University Press. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910297039403321 996 $aThe promise of prosperity$93397785 997 $aUNINA
