Beloved Land: Stories, Struggles, and Secrets from Timor-Leste
Standard
Briskly written and deeply affectionate, the book introduces a set of
colorful Timorese and international characters, and unforgettably brings
them to life. At the stroke of midnight on May 20, 2002, the Democratic
Republic of Timor-Leste became the first new nation of the 21st
century. From that moment, those who fought for independence in the
jungle and from the soapbox have faced a challenge even bigger than
shaking off Indonesian occupation: running a country of their own. Beloved Land
picks up the story where world attention left off. Blending narrative
history, travelogue, and personal reminiscences based on four years of
living in the country, it shows the daunting hurdles that the people of
Timor-Leste must overcome to build a nation from scratch, and how much
the international community has to learn if it is to help rather than
hinder the process. In Timor-Leste, “small” does not necessarily mean
“simple.” Family politics, squabbles, power struggles,
misunderstandings, old romances, and even older grudges are woven into
present-day life. In this mysterious place, a land of intrigue and
rumors, running a state is exhausting and difficult work, but dealing
with it is endlessly interesting. Where else would a Prime Minister
evade the bullets of renegade soldiers by using his sacred charms to
change shape from a man to a dog—and then, a few years later, have
affiliates of these same soldiers help out in his re-election campaign? Beloved Land
shows that the story of Timor-Leste as much more than the narrow litany
of conflict and violence often presented in the media. Increasingly, it
is becoming a story about the exploitation of oil and gas, and whether
Timorese leaders can steward the revenues they receive from these
resources to benefit a rapidly expanding population. It is also a story
about international aid and its inadequacies. In just over a decade,
over eight billion dollars have been spent in a territory half the size
of Tasmania, but the majority of Timorese remain in deep poverty.
Beloved Land explores the reasons why, and questions whether
international help is providing any real benefits in Asia’s newest
country. Above all, Beloved Land is a human story about
the one million East Timorese who speak nearly 20 different languages,
and who are exuberantly building a new country of their own.

Becoming Landowners EntangLements of Custom and Modernity in Papua New Guniea and Timor-Leste
Standard
Paperback: 232 pages
Publisher : University of Hawai'i Press (30 novembre 2016)
Collection : Topics in Contemporary Pacific
Langue : Anglais
ISBN-10: 082485666X
ISBN-13: 978-0824856663
Description :
Across Melanesia, the ways in which people connect to land are being transformed by processes of modernization globalization, the building of states and nations, practices and imaginaries of development, the legacies of colonialism, and the complexities of postcolonial encounters. Melanesian peoples are becoming landowners, Stead argues, both in the sense that these processes of change compel forms of property relations, and in the sense that landowner and custom landowner become identities to be wielded against the encroachment of both state and capital. In places where customary forms of land tenure have long been dominant, deeply intertwined with senses of self and relationships with others, land now becomes a crucible upon which social relations, power, and culture are reconfigured and reimagined.
Employing a multi-sited ethnographic approach, Becoming Landowners explores these transformations to land and life as they unfold across two Melanesian countries. The chapters move between coasts and inland mountain ranges, between urban centers and rural villages, telling the stories of people and places who are always situated and particular but who also share powerful commonalities of experience. These include a subsistence-based community shaped by the legacies of colonialism and occupation in remote Timor-Leste, villagers in Papua New Guinea resisting a mining operation and the government agents supporting it, an urban East Timorese settlement resisting eviction by the nation-state its residents hoped would represent them in the post-independence era, and people and groups in both countries who are struggling for, with, and sometimes against the formal codification of their claims to land and place. In each of these instances, customary and modern forms of connection to land are propelled into complex and dynamic configurations, theorized here in an innovative way as entanglements of custom and modernity.
Moving between multiple sites, scales, and forms of collectivity, Becoming Landowners reveals entanglements as spaces of deep ambivalence. Here, structures of power are destabilized in ways that can lend themselves to the diminishing of local autonomy in the face of the state and capital. At the same time, the destabilization of power also creates new possibilities for the reassertion of that autonomy, and of the customary forms of connection to land in which it is grounded.

Becoming an Art Therapist Enabling Growth, Change, and Action for Emerging Students in the Field
Standard
Paperback: 163 pages
Publisher: Charles C Thomas Pub Ltd (17 April 2015)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0398090734
ISBN-13: 978-0398090739
Description :
This is not a 'how-to' book but rather about the 'experience' of
becoming an art therapist. The text covers issues in supervision and
mentorship, contains stories by art therapy students about what they are
thinking and feeling, and letters to young art therapists by highly
regarded professionals in the field. The reader has the advantage of
ideas and responses from both a student art therapist and an art
therapist with many years' experience and is clearly intended for
students aiming for a career. Chapter 1 is about students as a secret
society and the importance of student colleagues. The second chapter is a
short history of art therapy education, while Chapter 3 is a review of
some literature potentially useful to art therapy students. Chapter 4
represents Kim Newall's journal with imagery of her internship
experience as a third-year graduate student in a community clinic. For
Chapter 5, art therapy graduate students in various geographical
sections of the United States describe their worst and best student
experiences and their most important role models. Chapter 6 is about
mentoring-what it is and why an art therapist should have a mentor. In
Chapter 7, twelve senior art therapists, each with many years'
experience, write a personal letter to the coming generations of art
therapists. The letter writers are all pioneers in the field. Finally,
Chapter 8 offers a selected art therapy bibliography. This extraordinary
book conveys the message 'you can do this and it's worth it.' The text
is a much needed contribution to the field of art therapy. Students for
many semesters to come will be reassured, validated, and informed.
Experienced art therapists will ford valuable perspectives on
supervision, teaching, and mentorship.

Baby Boomers of Color Implications For Social Work Ppolicy and Practice
Standard
Print Length: 294 pages
Page Numbers Source ISBN: 0231163010
Publisher: Columbia University Press (November 18, 2014)
Publication Date: November 18, 2014
Sold by: Amazon Digital Services LLC
Language: English
ASIN: B00O0G161M
Description :
Because researchers often
treat baby boomers of color as belonging to one group, quality data on
the individual status of specific racial populations is lacking, leading
to insufficiently designed programs, policies, and services. The
absence of data is a testament to the invisibility of baby boomers of
color in society and deeply affects the practice of social work and
other helping professions that require culturally sensitive approaches.
Melvin Delgado rectifies this injustice by providing a comprehensive portrait of the status and unique assets of boomers of color. Using specific data, he grounds an understanding of boomers'financial, medical, and emotional needs within a historical, socioeconomic, cultural, and political context, resulting in tailored recommendations for meeting the challenges of a growing population. His research focuses on African American, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, and Native American older adults and addresses issues of financial security, employment stability, housing, and health care, which are often complicated by linguistic and cultural differences. Rather than treat baby boomers of color as a financial burden on society and its resources, Delgado recognizes their strengths and positive contributions to families and communities, resulting in an affirming and empowering approach to service.

How to Engage with the Private Sector in Public-Private Partnerships in Emerging Markets
Standard
Paperback: 196 pages
Publisher: World Bank Publications (January 14, 2011)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0821378635
ISBN-13: 978-0821378632
Description :
There is increasing interest in the use of public-private partnerships
in emerging markets. But what does this actually require governments to
do if they are to establish successful long term partnerships with
private partners and ensure that public partner has the right
information, on the right projects, for the right partners at the right
time.? This book takes the reader through the steps in the life of a
PPP to provide a realistic overview of what is required successfully to
engage and manage such a partnership from the early stages.
Drawing on experience from both mature and developing PPP markets across the world, the book assesses the policies, processes and institutions that are needed to select the right projects and manage the preparation of projects for market and their subsequent operation. It also looks at the role of advisers, and how they should be selected and used. Particularly in light of the recent financial crisis, the various approaches used to finance projects are also considered together with the policy responses that governments have recently adopted. Case studies are used to illustrate the key messages throughout.
The book recognizes that governments will use a wide range of PPPs in different sectors and that legal and administrative systems vary. The purpose of the book is to identify and bringing clarity to the underlying principles so that there is a better understanding of why and how the various processes are carried out.
This book is aimed primarily at public officials who are involved with delivery of infrastructure projects and services through partnership with the private sector as well as institutions who are looking to support PPP programmes.

Asia's Transformations Politics of Protection Rackets in Post-New Order Indonesia
Standard
Series: Asia's Transformations
Hardcover: 220 pages
Publisher: Routledge; 1 edition (April 8, 2015)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0415569125
ISBN-13: 978-0415569125
Description :
Gangs and militias have been a persistent
feature of social and political life in Indonesia. During the
authoritarian New Order regime they constituted part of a vast network
of sub-contracted coercion and social control on behalf of the state.
Indonesia’s subsequent democratisation has seen gangs adapt to and take
advantage of the changed political context. New types of populist street
based organisations have emerged that combine predatory rent-seeking
with claims of representing marginalised social and economic groups.
Based on extensive fieldwork in Jakarta this book provides a comprehensive analysis of the changing relationship between gangs, militias and political power and authority in post-New Order Indonesia. It argues that gangs and militias have manufactured various types of legitimacy in consolidating localised territorial monopolies and protection economies. As mediators between the informal politics of the street and the world of formal politics they have become often influential brokers in Indonesia’s decentralised electoral democracy. More than mere criminal extortion, it is argued that the protection racket as a social relation of coercion and domination remains a salient feature of Indonesia’s post-authoritarian political landscape.
This ground-breaking study will be of interest to students and scholars of Indonesian and Southeast Asian politics, political violence, gangs and urban politics.

Asia-Africa Development Divergence
Standard
Paperback: 264 pages
Publisher: Zed Books (March 15, 2015)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1783602775
ISBN-13: 978-1783602773
Description :
Despite recent economic growth in Sub-Saharan Africa, most people there
are still almost as poor as they were half a century ago. This book asks
the vital question: why have Southeast Asian countries like Malaysia,
Indonesia, and Vietnam been able to reduce levels of absolute poverty in
recent years more successfully than many African countries, such as
Kenya, Nigeria, and Tanzania?
In Asia-Africa Development Divergence, David Henley corrects widespread misconceptions about rapid poverty reduction in Asia and Africa and, in their place, presents a simple, radical explanation for the development divergence between Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa: the starkly unequal quality of developmental intent in these regions’ political leaders.

Asia Struggles with Democracy Ecidence from Indonesia, Korea, and Thailand

Series: Routledge Contemporary Asia Series
Hardcover: 168 pages
Publisher: Routledge (July 23, 2015)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1138833525
ISBN-13: 978-1138833524
Description :
Since 1974, when the current wave of
democratisation began, the movement towards democracy in Asia has
remained limited. Many countries in Asia, in fact, are not making a
decisive move towards democracy, and find themselves struggling with the
challenges of democratic consolidation and governance. Focusing on
Indonesia, Thailand and Korea, this book analyses why democratisation is
so difficult in Asia.
The book investigates the dynamics by which citizens embrace democratic rule and reject authoritarianism, and also compares these dynamics with those of consolidating democracies around the world. The book looks at the forces that affect the emergence and stability of democracy, such as elite interactions, economic development and popular attitudes as beliefs and perceptions about the legitimacy of political systems have long been recognised as some of the most critical influences on regime change. The book also discusses what it is about the nature of public opinion and the processes of day-to-day democratic participation that have made these countries vulnerable to repeated crises of legitimacy. Using Indonesia, Korea, and Thailand as case studies, this book highlights the uniqueness of the Asia’s path to democracy, and shows both the challenges and opportunities in getting there.
The book will be of interest to students and scholars of Asian Politics, Comparative Politics and International Studies.

A Prince in a Republic: The Life of Sultan Hamengku Buwono IX of Yogyakarta

Language: English
ISBN-10: 9814519383
ISBN-13: 978-9814519380
Description :
Hamengku Buwono IX, the late Sultan of Yogyakarta Special Province, is
revered by Indonesians as one of the great founders of the modern
Indonesian state. He leaves a positive but in some ways ambiguous legacy
in political terms. His most conspicuous achievement was the survival
of hereditary Yoqyakartan kingship, and he provided rare stability and
continuity in Indonesia's highly fractured modern history. Under the New
Order, Hamengku Buwono also helped to launch the Indonesian economy on a
much stronger growth path. Although remembered as the epitome of
"political decency", he faded from power and influence as Vice President
in the 1970s, and the repressive and anti-democratic features of
Suharto's New Order seemed to contradict much of what Hamengku Buwono
originally stood for. This biography seeks to explain his political
standpoint, motivations, and achievements, and set his career in the
context of his times.

Apology and Reconciliation in International Relations and Global Politics
Standard
Series: Routledge Advances in International Relations and Global Politics
Hardcover: 328 pages
Publisher: Routledge (September 28, 2015)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1138821020
ISBN-13: 978-1138821026
Description :
This book looks into the role and effects of
public apologies in international relations. It focuses on two major
questions - why and when do states issue apologies for historic crimes
and how and under what conditions are these apologies successful in
remedying conflictive relationships?
In recent years, we have witnessed an unseen popularity of apologies, with numerous politicians, managers and clergymen being eager to apologise and atone for the wrong-doings of their countries or institutions. Public apologies, thus, are a new and highly interesting, while nevertheless still puzzling phenomenon, the precise role and meaning of which in international politics remains to be explored. This book sets out to do exactly this. Focusing in particular on state apologies, it assembles twelve detailed empirical case studies which deal with the two questions raised above. In the first part, the case studies reconstruct the processes in which state representatives react to calls for public atonement, and in the second part the case studies explore the reactions to the apology and evaluate signs for its success or failure.
All case studies are based on a theoretical framework which is outlined in the introduction to the book and helps develop tentative assumptions about the emergence and the effects of state apologies, drawing on different strands of literature, such as political science, philosophy, sociology or psychology. This work will be of great interest to students and scholars of conflict reconciliation, international relations and transitional justice.

An All-of-Government Approach to Increase Resilience for International Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive
Standard
Paperback: 78 pages
Publisher: National Academies Press (September 21, 2014)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 030930606X
ISBN-13: 978-0309306065Description :
Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear,
and high-yield Explosive (CBRNE) events have the potential to
destabilize governments, create conditions that exacerbate violence or
promote terrorism. This can trigger global repercussions. These events
can quickly overwhelm the infrastructure and capability of the
responders, especially in countries that do not have the specialized
resources for response like those available in the United States. When a
CBRNE incident occurs in a partner nation or other foreign country, the
U.S. is often called upon to provide assistance. Interoperability - the
ability to work together - among U.S. agencies, foreign governments,
and responders involved in the effort is key to an efficient response.
The effectiveness of the U.S. response and approach to CBRNE events in
partner nations depends on the capability of the U.S. government to
provide timely and appropriate assistance and the resilience of the
partner nation to a CBRNE event.
An All-of-Government Approach to Increase Resilience for International Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, and Explosive (CBRNE) Events is the summary of a workshop convened in June 2013 by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the National Research Council to discuss ways to strengthen the U.S. ability to prepare for and respond to CBRNE events that occur in U.S. partner nations.

Alliance Formation in Civil Wars
Standard
Paperback: 360 pages
Publisher: Cambridge University Press (November 12, 2012)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1107683483
ISBN-13: 978-1107683488
Description :
Some of the most brutal and long-lasting civil wars of our time - those
in Afghanistan, Bosnia, Lebanon, and Iraq, among others - involve the
rapid formation and disintegration of alliances among warring groups, as
well as fractionalization within them. It would be natural to suppose
that warring groups form alliances based on shared identity
considerations - such as Christian groups allying with Christian groups,
or Muslim groups with their fellow co-religionists - but this is not
what we see. Two groups that identify themselves as bitter foes one day,
on the basis of some identity narrative, might be allies the next day
and vice versa. Nor is any group, however homogeneous, safe from
internal fractionalization. Rather, looking closely at the civil wars in
Afghanistan and Bosnia and testing against the broader universe of
fifty-three cases of multiparty civil wars, Fotini Christia finds that
the relative power distribution between and within various warring
groups is the primary driving force behind alliance formation, alliance
changes, group splits, and internal group takeovers.

After the New Order Space Politics and Jakarta
Standard
Series: Writing Past Colonialism
Hardcover: 304 pages
Publisher: University of Hawaii Press (November 30, 2013)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 0824837452
ISBN-13: 978-0824837457
Description :
After the New Order follows up Abidin Kusno’s well-received Behind the Postcolonial and The Appearances of Memory.
This new work explores the formation of populist urban programs in
post-Suharto Jakarta and the cultural and political contradictions that
have arisen as a result of the continuing influence of the Suharto-era’s
neoliberal ideology of development. Analyzing a spectrum of urban
agendas from waterfront city to green environment and housing for the
poor, Kusno deepens our understanding of the spatial mediation of power,
the interaction between elite and populist urban imaginings, and how
past ideologies are integral to the present even as they are newly
reconfigured.
The book brings together eight chapters that examine
the anxiety over the destiny of Jakarta in its efforts to resolve the
crisis of the city. In the first group of chapters Kusno considers the
fate and fortune of two building types, namely the city hall and the
shop house, over a longue duree as a metonymy for the culture,
politics, and society of the city and the nation. Other chapters focus
on the intellectual legacies of the Sukarno and Suharto eras and the
influence of their spatial paradigms. The final three chapters look at
social and ecological consciousness in the post-Suharto era. One
reflects on citizens’ responses to the waterfront city project, another
on the efforts to “green” the city as it is overrun by capitalism and
reaching its ecological limits. The third discusses a recent low-income
housing program by exploring the two central issues of land and
financing; it illuminates the interaction between the politics of urban
space and that of global financial capitalism. The epilogue, consisting
of an interview with the author, discusses Kusno’s writings on
contemporary Jakarta, his approach to history, and how his work is
shaped by concerns over the injustices, violence, and environmental
degradation that continue to accompany the city’s democratic transition.
After the New Order will be essential reading for
anyone―including Asianists, urban historians, social scientists,
architects, and planners―concerned with the interplay of space, power,
and identity.

Activist Archives Youth Culture and Political Past In Indonesia
StandardActivist Archives Youth Culture and Political Past In Indonesia
Paperback: 296 pages
Publisher: Duke University Press Books; Reprint edition (May 27, 2016)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 082236171X
ISBN-13: 978-0822361718
Description :
In Activist Archives Doreen Lee
tells the origins, experiences, and legacy of the radical Indonesian
student movement that helped end the thirty-two-year dictatorship in May
1998. Lee situates the revolt as the most recent manifestation of
student activists claiming a political and historical inheritance passed
down by earlier generations of politicized youth. Combining historical
and ethnographic analysis of "Generation 98," Lee offers rich depictions
of the generational structures, nationalist sentiments, and
organizational and private spaces that bound these activists together.
She examines the ways the movement shaped new and youthful ways of
looking, seeing, and being—found in archival documents from the 1980s
and 1990s; the connections between politics and place; narratives of
state violence; activists' experimental lifestyles; and the uneven
development of democratic politics on and off the street. Lee
illuminates how the interaction between official history, collective
memory, and performance came to define youth citizenship and resistance
in Indonesia’s transition to the post-Suharto present.

Activism NGOs and the State
StandardActivism NGOs and the State
Hardcover: 234 pages
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield International (August 6, 2015)
Language: English
ISBN-10: 1783484195
ISBN-13: 978-1783484195
Description :
Many NGOs are mobilizing
transnationally in order to form new social networks that enable them to
better interact with nation-state policies on migrant and refugee
inclusion.
This book empirically
investigates the rich varieties of cooperative cross-border activity,
and compares how the same groups behave at both the national and
transnational levels. It uses an original survey – the Survey of
European Migrant Inclusion NGOs – to document four types of cooperative
political tactics used by NGOs cross the European Union:
information-sharing, technical expertise-sharing, resource-sharing, and
coordination of common projects. It also looks across the current EU
member states to analyze how differences in the national policy context
specific to migrants’ issues facilitate and constrain these varied forms
of transnational cooperation. In doing so, the book argues that to
understand the overall prevalence of transnational mobilization and the
extent to which it represents the emergence of a global civil society,
we need to expand the focus of social movement studies beyond just
visible, public displays of contentious activity.
