While this group did not have the upper hand from the mid-1990s, they were still a significant force, allied with technocrats in the bureaucracy. Girling’s work provides a helpful synthesis of the major writings on Thai political economy during the past decade or so. It has copious footnotes, but sorely lacks a bibliography to help illuminate the way through them. The book is not an introductory text, nor is it intended for the general reader. Its target audience is the advanced student of either Thai politics or the comparative politics of newly-industrializing countries. JOHN FUNSTON Institute of Southeast Asian Studies, Singapore Sihanouk: Prince of Light, Prince of Darkness. By Milton Osborne. NSW, Australia: Allen & Unwin Pty Ltd., 1994. 283 pp. Cambodia’s monarch-turned political leader, Norodom Sihanouk, has been viewed by Cambodia historian David Chandler as “one of Asia’s most flamboyant and enduring figures”. This assertion makes Milton Osborne’s book under review worth reading, partly because of Cam- bodia’s endless tragedies in the last few decades and partly because the Prince has outlived many of his enemies. The leading figures such as former Defence Minister Lon Nol and Prince Sisowath Sirik Matak (Sihanouk’s cousin), who had put him out of power in a coup d’etat in March 1970, have long been dead. -

The Paris Agreement of 27 January 1973 was intended, at least by some of its authors, to end the war and to bring peace to Vietnam and Indochina. Studies on the Agreement have gen erally focused on the American retreat from Vietnam and the military and political consequences leading to the fall of Saigon in April 1975. This study will seek to explore a number of questions which remain controversial. It addresses itself to considering whether under the circumstances prevailing between 1973 and 1974 the Paris Agreement could have worked. In the light of these circum stances it argues that the Agreement sought to establish a frame work for future stability and economic development through multilateral aid and rehabilitation aimed at the eventual survival of South Vietnam. -

What did he leave behind? My original hypothesis was that Sihanouk was a libertine and ruthless god-king who had immense pride for his country. -

Speaking in Two Tongues: an Ethnographic Investigation of the Literacy Practices of English As a Foreign Language and Cambodian Young Adult Learners’ Identity
Speaking in Two Tongues: An Ethnographic Investigation of the Literacy Practices of English as a Foreign Language and Cambodian Young Adult Learners’ Identity Soth Sok Student Number: 3829801 College of Education, Victoria University Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Education February 2014 Speaking in Two Tongues: An ethnographic investigation of the literacy practices of English as a foreign language and Cambodian young adult learners’ identity Abstract This study focuses on how the literacy practices in English of young Cambodians shaped their individual and social perception as well as performance of identity. It examines the English language as an increasingly dominant cultural and linguistic presence in Cambodia and endeavours to fill the epistemic gap in what Gee (2008, p. 1) has identified as the ‘other stuff’ of language. This other stuff includes ‘social relations, cultural models, power and politics, perspectives on experience, values and attitudes, as well as things and places in the world’ that are introduced to the local culture through English literacy and practices. Merchant and Carrington (2009, p. 63) have suggested that ‘the very process of becoming literate involves taking up new positions and becoming a different sort of person’. Drawing on the life stories of five participants and my own-lived experiences, the investigation is in part auto-ethnographical. It considers how reading and writing behaviours in English became the ‘constitutive’ components of ‘identity and personhood’ (Street 1994, p. 40). I utilised semi-structured life history interviews with young adult Cambodian participants, who spoke about how their individual and social performance of identity was influenced by their participation in English literacy practices and events in Cambodia. -

[email protected] The History of Cambodia from 1st Century to 20th Century [10] Sangkum Reastre Niyum of King Norodom Sihanouk 1955-1970 SLK 11/12/2008 Prince Norodom Sihanouk who built so many schools everywhere in Cambodia for his Khmer children to enjoy learning whatever they wanted to, but mostly they learnt only how to irrigate water into the fields. His Khmer children were not allowed to learn any political sciences…. However, his ordinary people seemed to enjoy their lives under his Sangkum Reastre Niyum Regime, even if his country was also completely under siege being already engulfed in wars with the two young-warmongering nations-Siam and Yuon again. And, his people seemed being kept in a dark pond like a frog that knew nothing what was happening during his reign of Sangkum Reastre Niyum? His ordinary Khmer people did not also really know much about any Vietnamese secret agents/Vietcong living in Cambodia during a little dictatorial Sangkum Niyum of his? Why did he become a little dictator who gave a drastic order to his secret police to secretly kill his own Khmer educated men? SLK v.2 [10] Sangkum Reastre Niyum of King Norodom Sihanouk 1955-1970 Absolute Monarchy ABSOLUTE monarchy is an idealized form of government, a monarchy where the ruler has the power to rule his or her country and citizens freely with no laws or legally-organized direct opposition telling him or her what to do, although some religious authority may be able to discourage the monarch from some acts and the sovereign is expected to act according to custom. -
Economic History of Industrialization in Cambodia
Working Paper No. 7 Economic history of industrialization in Cambodia 1 2 Sokty Chhair and Luyna Ung Abstract The industrialization which started in 1953 had been completely disrupted by the chronic civil war and closed-door policy of successive communism/socialism regimes. Since 1993 Cambodia has embraced a market economy heavily dependent on foreign capital and foreign markets. As a result, the economy has experienced high economic growth rate yet with low linkage to domestic economy. The government’s Rice Export Policy introduced in 2010 to diversify its economy, maximize its value added and job creation was highly evaluated to bring those benefits under the environment of weak governance. Whether similar kind of such a policy for other sectors is successful remains to be seen.
