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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Drysdale\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3639139828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783639139822\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e VDM Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/24\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Jennifer Drysdale","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44126001660159,"sku":"9783639139822","price":85.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_055f6e51-1bab-4ba2-ad99-c8a5230e153b.jpg?v=1687445739","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/timor-leste-sustainable-development-jennifer-drysdale-9783639139822","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
