Description:: This RSC working paper examines the relationship between conflict and displacement as dynamics of social change in Timor-Leste. The thesis of this paper is that the sometimes violent 'crisis dynamics' bring about profound societal changes that are likely to outlive any political deadlock at the top. This deadlock is usually understood as defining the 'crisis'. In opening up the scope of what the crisis is about, this paper simultaneously attempts to highlight particular dynamics that have not been given enough attention in standard accounts, embedded as they are in a liberal framework.
