After the United Nationssponsored plebiscite in 1999 when the population of East Timar voted for independence, the challenge facing the East Timorese and the UNTAET mission was to build a new nation, almost from scratch. This task is still ongoing, and will be so for many years to come. This thesis examines the context in which the public administration emerged, but pa1iicularly the achievements and shortcomings of the UN mission in building capacity for the establishment of a democratic system of governance supported by an accountable and efficient civil service. It concludes with recommendations for the future of the East Timorese public administration after the transition to independence in May 2002.
