Recommended to start a blog by the advisor, finally created my blog. Hope to keep this daily at least while I am here with an internet access.I would like to start this blog by introducing myself. I named myself tasi-bonita in for this blog. ('Tasi' means 'ocean' in Timorese language, and it is the first word I learned from my Timorese friend.) I study internaitional politics, at a university in Australia, with a specific focus on politics in and about Timor-Leste.
Having studied about the history of the country, I am very much puzzled by the complexity of power-relations in Timor ... I can never fully explain it! Now looking at 'peacebuilding in Timor', I cannot emphasize more the influence of contemporaly global politics to local politics. It is gross. I see a real intersection of gender, class, and race issues in contemporary politics in Timor-Leste. I am hoping to explain it as a scholar!
