  • "The exceptional case of humanitarian intervention in East Timor was a turning point for international relations. East Timor, Australia and regional order highlights how the persistence of Indonesian rule in the region was strongly linked to Australian complicity, and details the progression of East Timor through the struggle against occupation to its final liberation. By 1999, the status of East Timor had become a major global issue, and this highly detailed and up to date account explains the history of Australian complicity and the dramatic policy change that set a precedent for the increasing importance of the UN today. Cotton's broad exploration of the phenomenon also covers the plight of the resistance movement and the crucial part it played in overcoming Indonesian domination. This book is essential reading for students of political science, Asian studies and international relations."
