  • Destination: Angkor Archaeological Park the Complete Temple Guide
    Destination: Angkor Archaeological Park The Complete Temple Guide 1 The Temples of Angkor Ak Yom The earliest elements of this small brick and sandstone temple date from the pre-Angkorian 8th century. Scholars believe that the inscriptions indicate that the temple is dedicated to the Hindu 'god of the depths'. This is the earliest known example of the architectural design of the 'temple-mountain', which was to become the primary design for many of the Angkorian period temples including Angkor Wat. The temple is in a very poor condition. Angkor Thom Angkor Thom ("Great City") was the last and most enduring capital city of the Khmer empire. It was established in the late 12th century by King Jayavarman VII. The walled and moated royal city covers an area of 9 km², within which are located several monuments from earlier eras as well as those established by Jayavarman and his successors. At the centre of the city is Jayavarman's state temple, the Bayon, with the other major sites clustered around the Victory Square immediately to the north. Angkor Thom was established as the capital of Jayavarman VII's empire, and was the centre of his massive building programme. One inscription found in the city refers to Jayavarman as the groom and the city as his bride. Angkor Thom is accessible through 5 gates, one for each cardinal point, and the victory gate leading to the Royal Palace area. Angkor Wat Angkor Wat ("City of Temples"), the largest religious monument in the world, is a masterpiece of ancient architecture. The temple was built by the Khmer King Suryavarman II in the early 12th century as his state temple and eventual mausoleum.

  • Executive Summary DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY for CLMV in THE
    1 Executive Summary DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY FOR CLMV IN THE AGE OF ECONOMIC INTEGRATION Chap Sotharith 1. INTENTIONS AND AIMS OF THE STUDY Regional economic integration has been rapidly progressing in East Asia with increasing numbers of Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) and Economic Partnership Agreements (EPAs). The liberalization of international trade and investment accompanying the integration process is expected to accelerate economic growth in the whole region. At the same time, however, there is concern that integration may also widen development gaps among individual member countries and among the regions in each country. If these regional development gaps continue to widen, they could hamper the progress of regional integration in East Asia. It is essential to study how extensively the gap-expanding force works in the integrated economy. This research aims to frame the development strategies for Cambodia, Lao People’s Democratic Republic or Lao PDR, Myanmar, and Vietnam (CLMV) in the age of globalization and help narrow the development gaps among countries in the region. It highlights the assessment of economic performance, economic reform programmes, challenges and policy recommendations for CLMV as a group, for individual countries, and for external partners in order to bring about substantial development of CLMV economies. 2 The recommendations derived from the study are expected to provide the basic direction for the economic development of CLMV,. but the individual policy measures should be determined by each government according to country-specific conditions. For example, the individual paths for the upgrading of industries should be chosen based on the resource endowment of, and other socioeconomic conditions in, each country.
