Reflecting on the legacies of Timor-Leste's remarkable journey from colonialism to sovereign and democratic Independence, the Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Timor-Leste provides a comprehensive and up-to –date reference work on the politics, economics, cultural and social life in Timor-Leste. Following an introduction and overview of the country, the Handbook is divided into 5 parts:

- Independence and the legacies of resistance

- Politics and governance

- Economics and development

- Culture and society

- International Relations and security

Written by an international team of experts, the Handbook covers the principle concerns that have contributed significantly to the shape and character of contemporary Timor-Leste. It will be a useful and important reference guide for students, scholars and policy-makers with an interest in International Relations, Southeast Asian Studies and Peace Studies.
