Description: "Dependent Communities investigates the political situations in contemporary Cambodia and East Timor, where powerful international donors intervened following deadly civil conflicts. This comparative analysis critiques international policies that focus on rebuilding state institutions to accomodate the global market. In addition, it explores the dilemmas of politicians in Camboadia and East Timor who struggle to satisfy both wealthy foreign benefactors and constituents at home."--Cover p. [4].
