>> Political or 'Independen'?: Changing Perceptions of Power and Leadership 
>> in Timor Leste by Maj Nygaard-Christensen
>>
>> During Timor's resistance against Indonesia, the resistance leadership 
>> involved in armed struggle within Timor was surrounded with an air of 
>> mystery. Individual leaders were revered for their charisma and ability 
>> to outsmart Indonesian troops, so overwhelming in number. Today, much of 
>> the political elite in Timor consist of former members of the resistance 
>> - returned exiles and former guerrillas or clandestine members. My 
>> interest in this paper is what the shift from being participants in a 
>> movement /against/ with much popular support to being leaders in a 
>> modern nation-building project involved in state-level political life 
>> has meant for these leaders. I will focus firstly on how popular 
>> narratives of such leaders are changing and secondly, I will look closer 
>> at the strategies of certain high level leaders in gaining political 
>> legitimacy in Timor Leste today.
>>
>> Maj Nygaard-Christensen is a PhD candidate at the Department of 
>> Anthropology at Aarhus University in Denmark visiting RSPAS until the 
>> end of May 2008. Her fieldwork was conducted in Timor Leste between 
>> February and December 2007 and in April 2008, during the time of the 
>> presidential and parliamentary elections. The PhD focusss on notions of 
>> leadership and power.
