About This Novel
East Timor is a country located at the eastern end of Timor Island in Southeast Asia. It has been colonized by Portugal for a long time in history. In 1975, the Portuguese government allowed East Timor to implement national self-determination. On May 20, 2002, the Democratic Republic of East Timor was officially established, becoming the youngest country in Asia. Timor-Leste is rich in oil and natural gas resources, and its economy relies heavily on oil and gas revenue and foreign aid. Its non-oil and gas economy is mainly based on traditional service industries and agriculture. In recent years, the Timor-Leste government has made reducing poverty and increasing employment its policy priorities, gradually increasing its fiscal budget, expanding public expenditures, and encouraging foreign investment to stimulate non-oil and gas economic growth. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the history, politics, economy, military, society, culture and diplomacy of East Timor, which will be of great benefit to readers.
