The development eraser: fantastical schemes, aspirational distractions and high modern mega-events in the Oecusse enclave, Timor-Leste. [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex

It concludes with observations on this project's place in the national development context, and the likely costs and impacts of development for the Oecusse population.
