Introduction Introduction discusses the proposed aims, methods, and field sites. Ch. 2. “Trouble with Siem but not with Thai: Cambodian’s Post-National Views of their Northern Neighbor” This chapter focuses on an emerging discourse centered on the xenonym ‘Siem’ (Khmer for ‘Siam’), and how it encapsulates Cambodian views towards Thailand. ‘Siem’ has become a pejorative substitute for the word ‘Thai’, used to index Thailand’s imperial past, its expansion at the expense of the Khmer empire, and its wholesale appropriation of many facets of Khmer culture. Evidence for pejorative use of Siem is based on mass media accounts, on professional practices among tour guides at the Angkor complex, and on the work of other authors who have examined Khmer views of Thailand. But this article further argues that in northern Cambodia, where the population has tangible ties to Thailand and Thai people, that the choice of Siem or Thai now denotes a post-national view of Thailand. That is, Siem is not simply a pejorative synonym for Thai, but rather denotes different segments of Thai society altogether. Siem refers specifically to Bangkok-centered conservative Thai society, associated with the Abhisit-led Democratic government, the PAD, and any groups who make historically-based claims to Khmer lands or cultural capital. Thai now refers to ‘ordinary’ Thai citizens, i.e. those with which Cambodians share concrete ties, with a special affinity for ‘red-shirts’, the populism of Thaksin Shinwatra and his populist policies, and segments of the Thai population that are not ‘backward’ looking to an imperial past but forward-looking, with an emphasis on potential economic ties as the basis for relations. Evidence for this distinction between Siem and Thai is drawn from interviews, social practices, and material artifacts encountered during fieldwork. Ch. 3. “Stone Temple Jingoism: Contested Cultural Capital on the Thai- Cambodian Border” This chapter focuses on discursive dimensions of the ongoing border disputes over Preah Vihear, Tamoen, and Takrabey temples. It reviews certain facets of the 1962 ICJ decision and how the Court’s peculiar decision set the ideological stage for the ongoing dispute. It argues that the blame for the dispute falls most often on Thai intractability, that Thailand conducts very poor public relations in this regard, and that such an assessment of blame is ultimately unfair given the historical context. It shows how Cambodian nationalism is hypersensitive to issues concerning Angkorian heritage, how the discourses currently in circulation about the temple are starkly different from those relevant to the ICJ decision, and how this exposes a certain hypocrisy in Cambodian views. It discusses how domestic politics in both Cambodia and Thailand have caused the dispute to reignite, and what the effects of this flare-up are on the ground at the border. It further argues that the only likely resolution will require both Thailand and Cambodia to accept the political deadlock and find ways to work across it. Dual-listing of the Preah Vihear temple as a World Heritage Site offered such an opportunity, but this opportunity was squandered because the Thai government too easily panders to its far-right factions. Ch. 4. “Cross-border Connections: Life at the Troubled Thai-Cambodian Frontier” This article examines various aspects of everyday life along the Thai-Cambodia border, from both sides, to assess, firstly, what tangible cross-border connections people maintain, and secondly, what locally-constituted discourses inform these cross-border connections. The article further looks at how local discourses intersect, support, and/or subvert nationalist and other mainstream discourses that are afforded greater circulation in mass media and other channels. The ethnographic data informing this article derives from an examination of border markets, cross- border marriages, informal relations among military factions along the border, illicit activities (especially logging), religious/cultural connections and migrant labor.

  • Along the Royal Roads to Angkor
    Chapter Four The Royal Roads of King Jayavarman VII and its Architectural Remains 4.1 King Jayavarman VII’s Royal Roads 4.1.1 General Information Jayavarman VII’s Royal Roads was believed (by many scholars) to be built in the era of Jayavarman VII who ruled Khmer empire between AD 1812 – 1218. The road network not only cover the area of the modern-day Cambodia but also the large areas of the present Laos, Thailand and Vietnam that were under the control of the empire as well. As demonstrated by Ooi Keat Gin in Southeast Asia: A Historical Encyclopeida from Angkor Wat to East Timor Volume Two; highways were built—straight, stone-paved roads running across hundreds of kilometers, raised above the flood level, with stone bridges across rivers and lined with rest houses every 15 kilometers. Parts of some roads are still visible, even serving as the bed for modern roads. From the capital city, Angkor, there were at least two roads to the east and two to the west. One of the latter ran across the Dangrek Mountains to Phimai and another went due west toward Sisophon, which means toward the only lowland pass from Cambodia into eastern Thailand in the direction of Lopburi or Ayutthaya. Toward the east, one road has been traced almost to the Mekong, and according to an inscription in which these roads are described, it may continue as far as the capital of Champa1 1 Ooi. (2004).

  • Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia
    Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia Geographically, Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam are situated in the fastest growing region in the world, positioned alongside the dynamic economies of neighboring China and Thailand. Revolution, Reform and Regionalism in Southeast Asia compares the postwar political economies of these three countries in the context of their individual and collective impact on recent efforts at regional integration. Based on research carried out over three decades, Ronald Bruce St John highlights the different paths to reform taken by these countries and the effect this has had on regional plans for economic development. Through its comparative analysis of the reforms implemented by Cam- bodia, Laos and Vietnam over the last 30 years, the book draws attention to parallel themes of continuity and change. St John discusses how these countries have demonstrated related characteristics whilst at the same time making different modifications in order to exploit the strengths of their individual cultures. The book contributes to the contemporary debate over the role of democratic reform in promoting economic devel- opment and provides academics with a unique insight into the political economies of three countries at the heart of Southeast Asia. Ronald Bruce St John earned a Ph.D. in International Relations at the University of Denver before serving as a military intelligence officer in Vietnam. He is now an independent scholar and has published more than 300 books, articles and reviews with a focus on Southeast Asia,

  • The Puzzling Absence of Ethnicity-Based Political Cleavages in Northeastern Thailand
    Proud to be Thai: The Puzzling Absence of Ethnicity- Based Political Cleavages in Northeastern Thailand Jacob I. Ricks Abstract Underneath the veneer of a homogenous state-approved Thai ethnicity, Thailand is home to a heterogeneous population. Only about one-third of Thailand’s inhabitants speak the national language as their mother tongue; multiple alternate ethnolinguistic groups comprise the remainder of the population, with the Lao in the northeast, often called Isan people, being the largest at 28 percent of the population. Ethnic divisions closely align with areas of political party strength: the Thai Rak Thai Party and its subsequent incarnations have enjoyed strong support from Isan people and Khammuang speakers in the north while the Democrat Party dominates among the Thai- and Paktay-speaking people of the central plains and the south. Despite this confluence of ethnicity and political party support, we see very little mobilization along ethnic cleavages. Why? I argue that ethnic mobilization remains minimal because of the large-scale public acceptance and embrace of the government-approved Thai identity. Even among the country’s most disadvantaged, such as Isan people, support is still strong for “Thai-ness.” Most inhabitants of Thailand espouse the mantra that to Copyright (c) Pacific Affairs. All rights reserved. be Thai is superior to being labelled as part of an alternate ethnic group. I demonstrate this through the application of large-scale survey data as well as a set of interviews with self-identified Isan people. The findings suggest that the Thai state has successfully inculcated a sense of national identity Delivered by Ingenta to IP: 192.168.39.151 on: Sat, 25 Sep 2021 22:54:19 among the Isan people and that ethnic mobilization is hindered by ardent nationalism.

    KINGDOM OF CAMBODIA THE TEMPLE OF PREAH VIHEAR INSCRIBED ON THE WORLD HERITAGE LIST (UNESCO) SINCE 2008 Edited by the Office of the Council of Ministers PHNOM PENH MAY 2010 ON THE SUCCESSFUL INSCRIPTION OF THE TEMPLE OF PREAH VIHEAR ON THE WORLD HERITAGE LIST (07 July 2008, Quebec, Canada during the 32nd session of the World Heritage Committee) “This is a new sense of pride for the people of our Kingdom, as well as for all the people in the region and the world that the Temple of Preah Vihear was recognized by ICOMOS as an outstanding masterpiece of Khmer architecture with an outstanding universal value, and was inscribed on the World Heritage List.” “The inscription of the Temple of Preah Vihear requires the international community as a whole to protect and preserve this world heritage for the benefits of future gen- erations.” Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo HUN SEN Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Cambodia, 08 July 2008 “In fact, the Decision of the 31st session of the World Heritage Committee in Christchurch, New Zealand, July 2007 contains 3 conditions. First, it is essential that Cambodia strengthens the conservation of the Temple; second, Cambodia must develop an appropriate management plan and submit it to the World Heritage Centre by 01 February 2008, because the review process would take up many months until July, to see whether or not our management plan is appropriate; and third, Cambodia and Thailand should develop a close cooperation in support of the inscription. If Cambodia fulfills these three conditions, then in 2008 the inscription will be automatic.

  • Waeng Phalangwan - a Lao-Isan Perspective on Thai Lukthung
    Review Article: Waeng Phalangwan - A Lao-Isan perspective on Thai Lukthung Mr. James Mitchell1 Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia Abstract In Lukthung Isan, Waeng Phalangwan (2002) makes a case for recognition of the Isan involvement in phleng lukthung, usually translated as Thai country music. The significant involvement of Isan people within the lukthung music industry has provided Isan people with an effective way of influencing Central Thai culture, when most other avenues were closed. The article examines Waeng’s Lao-Isan identity and his use of standard tropes to disguise a defiant radicalism. The centrepiece of Waeng’s argument is a revision of the history of ‘the king of Thai country music,’ Suraphon Sombatjaroen. Phalangwan redefines Suraphon’s current status as the symbol of Central Thai cultural supremacy by placing him within the context of two contemporaries, the Isan songwriters Chaloemchai Siruechai and Benjamin. Waeng’s history of Isan singers and groups of Isan songwriters in Bangkok during the late 1960s and 1970s can be cross- referenced with establishment histories to make possible a reinterpretation of the development of lukthung. The closing chapter of Lukthung Isan, detailing the existence of ‘communist’ lukthung, suggests that a re-evaluation of the counter-hegemonic potential of lukthung may be warranted. 1 Mailing Address: 256 Mu 5 Baan Hua Tanon, T.
