Timor-Leste is a poor country and its challenge is to use its large per capita resource wealth to alleviate poverty and enable sustainable development. Timor-Leste's Petroleum Fund Law and other mechanisms to manage petroleum revenue are examined. These mechanisms appear to be resilient, but remain untested. Based on field interviews in Timor-Leste, the study offers insights into the opinions of East Timorese and foreign advisers about how Timor-Leste's petroleum revenue should be managed, and how a poor country can raise the living standards of its people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 312\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.7 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 24, 2009\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42165007253639,"sku":"9783639139822","price":122.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/83dfe4687f9637af3b5c68f40772cee1.webp?v=1733310235","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/timor-leste-sustainable-development-or-resource-cursed-an-exploration-of-timor-lestes-institutional-choices-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
