“…During this time, we pinpointed this realm through the framework of clientelism and patronage patterns within a big man society. Furthermore, we interpreted the relationship between ASEAN and Timor-Leste through a narcissism of minor differences and, as a result of this, a 'schismogenesis' in which two or more parties of interest react to each other and then react to each other's reactions in turn, through which escalating patterns evolve (Bateson, 1958). Interfacing with such internal structures and general political inconsistencies, external ambiguities and uncertainties take on great relevance in this debate.…”

Since the restoration of Timor-Leste's independence in 2002, accession to ASEAN has been the central preoccupation of Timor-Leste's foreign policy. Despite seemingly perpetual delays in accession, and the entrenched opposition of some ASEAN members, this position unites Timor-Leste's political parties, and rarely a note of dissent is heard. This fact alone makes it one of the fundaments of foreign policy. Others include a general policy of "friends to all", and, some would argue, a policy of balancing relationships between their two powerful neighbors to prevent the dominance of either one; and offsetting those bilateral relations with historical relationships with Portugal, and other countries like China (Leach & Percival-Wood, 2014).Indonesia remains the great sponsor of the ambition of ASEAN, and for this reason alone it is unlikely to be questioned by political elites in Timor-Leste; as it forms part of guarantee of good relations with their former occupier. Civil society is another matter altogether, however, and many critical perspectives on the advantages and disadvantages of accession have been noted by Timorese NGO s, such as Lao Hamutuk (2013), who have expressed concerns that ASEAN membership would impose costly obligations and increase Timor-Leste's already substantial import dependence (REF) further flooding its markets with cheap goods from ASEAN countries. Others have noted that the expectation of benefits are too high and will likely be restricted to elites (Kammen, 2013). Notably too, other members of ASEAN seem rather less enthusiastic about Timor-Leste's accession; with Singapore foremost among them. Confident predictions of accessions by certain dates have come and gone many times.In engaging with these issues and debates, this book represents a timely contribution to the literature, offering a wealth of insights into the many questions raised by Timor-Leste's relationship with ASEAN. Its deep engagement with these issues is welcomed. The centrality of ASEAN accession is undoubtable: the paradox lies partly in the fact that this orientation to ASEAN was not always so, nor perhaps as inevitable as it now appears.

“…This idea fits the above outlined social dynamics involved, in which individuals are in a continuously ongoing negotiation process with their followers in the realm of civilizational patterns and power relations within a schismogenesis of individuals and, more broadly, countries -as seems to be the case in Timor-Leste's internal power negotiations and its relationship with ASEAN. Bateson emphasizes that within a symmetrical schismogenesis 'opponents are locked in a rivalry generated by their similarity, a rivalry generating further reciprocal imitation -and escalating rivalry' -a relationship of interdependence as well as competition (Bateson, 1958, p. 238 in Harrison, 2006. Considering our case study, this realm comes to the fore through the arguments of our second social cluster, Civil Society Representatives.…”

“…Sie werden mehr oder minder als passive Objekte betrachtet, "als hilflose Zuschauer in einer sie bedrängenden Umwelt, die ihr gesamtes Verhalten beeinflusst und hervorbringt" (a.a.O., S. 63).

Die Arbeit von Kindern ist weder ein Relikt vergangener Zeiten noch zurückgebliebener Gesellschaften. Mit Blick auf Lateinamerika, Afrika und Asien ebenso wie auf Europa und Deutschland schärft das Buch den Blick für die Vielfalt der Formen und Bedeutungen, die Arbeit für Kinder hat und haben kann. Der Autor hinterfragt eingeschliffene Reflexe und vermeintliche Gewissheiten und Urteile und zeigt anhand mehrerer Studien, dass bisherige Maßnahmen gegen Kinderarbeit kritisch zu hinterfragen sind.
