Ligia Orleans Da Cruz

Abstract: 

The process of transformation and the political transition system in East Timor could be influenced by the development of the colonial state's political system, which included external and internal factors accompanied by the development of the capacity of the political elites from Timor-Leste, who were brave and able to accept and reject the political principles of the colonial state. Political developments that caused unrest and suffering for the community, such as the civil war between armed forces from political parties in 1975, because there was no guarantee of political security, there was the evacuation of the population to Indonesia in 1975 and 1999 to ask for security protection assistance until the restoration of the proclamation of independence the year 2002. The theory used in this research is the theory of transformation, transition and the political system. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques of observation, interviews, documentation and qualitative data analysis techniques. The results showed that with the process of political transformation in Timor-Leste, the people experienced rapid development in the political field so that they were able and courageous to declare independence in front of the colonizers, even though they were tortured, in prison, killed, but the people still wanted to be independent. The process of the political transition system in Timor-Leste can provide opportunities for future generations to fill the political void with the ability and intelligence to keep up with the country's political developments in the process of forming a government system in order to build the state and society and defend sovereignty. Conclusion The process of transformation and the political transition system in Timor-Leste provided a good and right opportunity for the people to be courageous and able to determine independence according to their own shortcomings and be able to form a government and formulate a development plan to build the country and society to progress together with other nations in the world.
