espanolEste articulo aborda la teoria del institucionalismo liberal que sostiene que la reforma del sector de la seguridad es un elemento clave para garantizar la seguridad dentro de las comunidades en situaciones de posconflicto. Sin embargo, a traves de una investigacion empirica, este articulo demuestra que el fracaso de la reforma del sector de la seguridad en Timor-Leste no tuvo un impacto significativo en la seguridad comunitaria. Aunque la poblacion de Timor Leste cuenta con sus propias percepciones de seguridad, las instituciones religiosas y culturales, en particular la Iglesia catolica y ‘uma lisan’ han aportado mecanismos de resolucion de conflictos y proteccion social. Tras las entrevistas en profundidad realizadas con 15 informantes clave y a 100 encuestados durante la investigacion de campo en Dili, este articulo sugiere que el papel securitario de la Iglesia y "uma lisan" ha suplido sustancialmente la ineficacia de las instituciones de seguridad internacionales y las dirigidas por el Estado durante la mision de las Naciones Unidas en el pais.l EnglishThis article departs from liberal institutionalism theory which argues that security sector reform is an important element to guarantee community security in post-conflict state. Nevertheless, this article discovers that Security Sector Reform run by the United Nations in Timor Lester from 2000-2012 failed to provide effective community security. While the people of Timor Leste have their own perceptions about the meaning of security, religious and cultural institutions, the church and "uma lisan" have provided mainly social protection and mechanisms for conflict resolution. Based on in-depth interviews with 15 key informants and survey to 100 respondents during the field research in Dili, this article suggests that the security role of the church and "uma lisan" has substantially substituted the ineffectiveness of the international and state-led security institutions during the United Nations mission in the country.
