This chapter first examines the interaction between global governance aspirations and East Asian realities. It compares Cambodia and Timor-Leste in the extent to which the UN was able to achieve its objectives of stopping the fighting, transitioning to democratic governance, and developing out of poverty. Similarities and differences are addressed, as well as enduring legacies of UN administration. Lessons learned include the necessity of considering not only the justifiability of the initial intervention, as well as the legitimacy of UN policies while governing, but also the long-term conditions laid for the future governance of the polity. The chapter emphasises the importance of local ownership, consultation, participation, and perspectives, to the twin goals of transforming conflictual relationships, and ensuring a sustainable and equitable development model. |
