  • State Building in Cambodia by Say SOK
    State Building in Cambodia by Say SOK MA in Political Science B.Ed. in English Submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Deakin University August, 2012 In memory of my late mother, Gek Cheng EA, who valued knowledge, education and perseverance. Abstract This study examines the factors affecting Cambodian state capacity since 1993 with illustrations from the fisheries and inundated forest subsectors. These two subsectors are used as an illustration due to their socio-economic and economic values and the limited state capacity to manage them. Based on primary and secondary documents and field interviews in Phnom Penh and two provinces around the Tonle Sap Lake with ninety-four key stakeholders, namely, fisheries officials, NGO officers, researchers, local authorities, community fisheries committees, lot concessionaires and operators and common fishers, it investigates the relations between the fragmentation of social control; limited state autonomy; limited Weberian state structure; weak civil society and state-society relations; a quest for internal political legitimacy, and impacts from donors’ assistance on Cambodian state capacity. Besides proving that the state capacity (penetration, regulation, extraction, appropriation, policy and legislation, midwifery and husbandry) in general and that of the subsectors in particular has been limited, albeit variable and improving, this research finds that the six factors above have an overall negative impact on Cambodian state capacity. On the theoretical front, this study locates the limited state capacity within the context of the post-communist electoral legitimacy where a dominant ruling party dominates and where there are less functional but politicized state apparatus and poor interactions amongst and within them, strong ego-centered social forces, less capable civil society and poorly engaging state-society relations, and limited meaningful engagement between donors and between donors and Cambodian state agencies.
