 | 'Justice and Governance in East Timor' by SSD Director Rod Nixon is now available as a reduced-cost paperback edition from suppliers including Amazon (see: http://www.amazon.com/Justice-Governance-East-Timor-Contemporary/dp/0415665736). An extract from Professor Geoffrey C. Gunn's review of 'Justice and Governance in East Timor...' as follows: 'Although a large and specialised literature has now emerged on the East Timor question, Nixon’s doctoral dissertation-turned-book is undoubtedly exceptional for its scholarship and its lessons. With merit, Nixon’s thesis of the New Subsistence State as tested against East Timor should give pause to all development workers intruding in postcolonial environments outside of Western models and experience. Entering print almost ten years following the birth of the new nation, this is a timely book and a must-read for students of East Timor and development workers in general.' - Geoffrey C. Gunn, Nagasaki University, Journal of Contemporary Asia, 43:2, 391-396 (2013). |
