Understanding Attitudes to National Identity in Melanesia and Timor-Leste
• This research:– Examined tertiary students attitudes to nation and national identity in
Timor-Leste. – Conducted medium scale surveys of tertiary students (n=300+ in each
target country) and follow-up focus groups (n=20) in Dili. – Surveys in 2002, 2007, 2010, 2012, 2017.
• The data generated seeks to:– Examine the attitudes of (likely) future elites – Track longitudinal studies of changes in attitudes (e.g. 2002-2017)– Improve understandings of any regional, ethnic, intergenerational and
linguistic fault lines. – Give voice to student perspectives– More nuanced understanding of ‘nation-building’ – i.e. challenges of developing a cohesive national political community, as
opposed to ‘institutional’ focus of state-building agendas.
3
Respondent Group: Tertiary Students
• While not “representative” of national population (or even of youth) this respondent group is an important one:– Surveys the attitudes of the (likely) future national elites– Surveys the attitudes of most educated section of
demographically dominant group (youth)– Student populations in Dili come from diverse regional origins,
and therefore tend to be geographically representative.
