  • 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,

  • Is “Identity-Based Conflict” a Valid Or Banal Concept? Event History Analysis of Civil War Onset, 1960-2000
    IS “IDENTITY-BASED CONFLICT” A VALID OR BANAL CONCEPT? EVENT HISTORY ANALYSIS OF CIVIL WAR ONSET, 1960-2000 DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Rumi Morishima Tosaka, M.A. ***** The Ohio State University 2008 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Edward M. Crenshaw, Advisor Professor J. Craig Jenkins Professor Pamela M. Paxton __________________________________ Adviser Professor Janet M. Box-Steffensmeier Graduate Program in Sociology Copyright by Rumi Morishima Tosaka 2008 ABSTRACT One assumption that is often implicit yet widely held in the conflict literature is the existence of “identity-based (ethnic)” conflicts. While this type of conflict is presumed to be conceptually and empirically distinct from “non-identity” conflicts, few close examinations have been undertaken regarding the validity of this assumption. By using the conditional risk model, a Cox proportional hazard model that allows for multiple failures, this dissertation investigates whether or not the two war “types” evince different causal explanations in ways that can justify the oft-mentioned distinction. Results suggest that while the different “types” of war share many causes, economic exclusion seems more applicable to non-identity civil war (e.g., class-based warfare) while political exclusion better explains identity-based civil war overall, suggesting that there may be some truth to the argument that political recognition plays an important role in identity-based war. First, socioeconomic development and international economic integration seem generally important for war prevention, yet other aspects of modernization show different patterns across the “types” of civil war.

  • 6 Documenting the Crimes of Democratic Kampuchea
    Article by John CIORCIARI and CHHANG Youk entitled "Documenting the Crimes of Democratic Kampuchea" in Jaya RAMJI and Beth VAN SCHAAK's book "Bringing the Khmer Rouge to Justice. Prosecuting Mass Violence Before the Cambodian Courts", pp.226-227. 6 Documenting The Crimes Of Democratic Kampuchea John D. Ciorciari with Youk Chhang John D. Ciorciari (A.B., J.D., Harvard; M.Phil., Oxford) is the Wai Seng Senior Research Scholar at the Asian Studies Centre in St. Antony’s College, University of Oxford. Since 1999, he has served as a legal advisor to the Documentation Center of Cambodia (DC-Cam) in Phnom Penh. Youk Chhang has served as the Director of DC-Cam since January 1997 and has managed the fieldwork of its Mass Grave Mapping Project since July 1995. He is also the Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of DC-Cam’s monthly magazine, SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH, and has edited numerous scholarly publications dealing with the abuses of the Pol Pot regime. The Democratic Kampuchea (DK) regime was decidedly one of the most brutal in modern history. Between April 1975 and January 1979, when the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK) held power in Phnom Penh, millions of Cambodians suffered grave human rights abuses. Films, museum exhibitions, scholarly works, and harrowing survivor accounts have illustrated the horrors of the DK period and brought worldwide infamy to the “Pol Pot regime.”1 Historically, it is beyond doubt that elements of the CPK were responsible for myriad criminal offenses. However, the perpetrators of the most serious crimes of that period have never been held accountable for their atrocities in an internationally recognized legal proceeding.

  • Sojourns Across Sources: Unbraiding Sino-Cambodian Histories
    Sojourns Across Sources: Unbraiding Sino-Cambodian Histories Penny Edwards, University of California, Berkeley There was a hiatus that could not be called silence because while they did not speak there was passing between them the vivid dialogue of the unexpressed. - Nadine Gordimer (2007, 101) History is not the sort of animal you can domesticate. - Antonio Tabucchi (2011, 89) Late one evening in March 1886, a court official named A Gi was stabbed to death in the Royal Palace in Phnom Penh, the capital of the French protectorate of Cambodia. A Gi was the head of the Hainanese Association in Cambodia. He had recently rallied to the French protectorate, gaining the colonial government’s confidence through regular meetings and falling from the favor of Cambodian king Norodom I in the process. His murder chilled Francophile dignitaries across the capital. “The mandarins are terrified,” wrote France’s representative in Cambodia, Lieutenant-Colonel Badens: “They say that those who have taken France’s part will meet the same fate” (Badens 1886, 2). Rumors were rife. Was this a revenge killing? A Gi had apparently refused his daughter to both King Norodom and Prince Duong Chakr. Was it the political assassination of a turncoat? A Gi was known as a collaborator with the French. Or was this an economic crime? A Gi had run fishing concessions in Bapnum and Prey Veng. Three days after the murder, an anonymous tract was posted on the door of A Gi’s house. It warned: The Chinese A Gi was killed because of serious personal enmity. The same will happen to [the mandarins] A Pok and A Hui, who are living in the palace of the Second King [Sisowath] in the North.

  • The Vietnam War and Its Impact on Southeast Asia on 2 July 1976 the Socialist Republic of Vietnam Was Declared
    Fact Sheet 11: The Vietnam War and its impact on Southeast Asia On 2 July 1976 the Socialist Republic of Vietnam was declared. Hundreds of thousands of South Vietnamese officials were imprisoned in re-education camps after the communist takeover. Tens of thousands died. Vietnam’s economy slumped. An estimated two million civilians left the country. These refugees were often called ‘boat people’ because they fled in crowded, dangerously unfit boats. An unknown number perished at sea. In 1977 New Zealand accepted 412 Vietnamese refugees. By the end of 1980 there were approximately 2000 Vietnamese refugees in New Zealand. For more information on Vietnamese in New Zealand go to the New Zealand Peoples section of Te Ara: The Encyclopedia of New Zealand. The fighting in Vietnam had destabilised the wider region. Neighbouring Cambodia was dragged into the conflict. It was bombed by the US air force in an attempt to stop North Vietnamese communists supplying their southern allies via the Ho Chi Minh Trai which ran through eastern Laos and Cambodia. Shortly before the fall of Saigon in 1975 the Cambodian communists, the Khmer Rouge, captured Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. This was a bitter blow to the Americans. Having tried to stop the spread of communism in the region, it had in fact seen its influence spread. The fighting in Cambodia also created a refugee problem. Cambodia’s population declined dramatically after 1975, as people fled the Khmer Rouge. Under the leadership of Pol Pot, the communists eliminated the country’s economic infrastructure and social institutions. They abolished money, schools and private property.

  • Genocide in Cambodia, 1975-1979
    Genocide in Cambodia, 1975-1979 Introduction From 1975-79, an estimated 1.5-3.0 million people-probably around 1.8 million, about a quarter of the population—were killed in a systematic campaign of mass murder organized by the Cambodian government at the time, known as the Democratic Kampuchea (DK). This government was created by the Khmer Rouge, a group that started in the 1960s as the armed wing of the Communist Party of Kampuchea (Cambodia). Led by the dictator Pol Pot, the Khmer Rouge occupied the capital, Phnom Penh on 17 April 1975. Their goal was to establish a classless, agricultural state that completely rejected capitalism and was based on communal living. To achieve this, they sought to eliminate anyone they deemed “New People,” namely, urban populations, intellectuals, and minorities who were thought to have been corrupted by outside influence. The Khmer Rouge favored peasants, who they called “Old People.” Historical Context Historically, the Khmer Empire had been a flourishing agrarian state in the 9th-15th centuries, which at its height encompassed a large area in the region including parts of current-day Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand. From the 15th-19th centuries, Cambodia was in decline and by the end of this period the dynasties of Vietnam and Thailand were vying for control of Cambodia. In an attempt to protect his Cambodia from Vietnam and Thailand, in 1863 the King invited France to establish a protectorate, starting a 90-year period of French rule. Cambodia was occupied by Japan during World War II, and then returned to French rule after the war until Cambodia became independent in 1953.
