    Country for sale – how Cambodia’s elite has captured the country’s extractive industries Glossary of key terms Resource curse – the phenomenon by which natural resource wealth often results in poor standards of human development, bad governance, increased corruption and sometimes conflict. Extractive industries – for the purposes of this report, the extractive industries are defined as the oil, gas, and mining industries. Kleptocracy – a style of governance characterised by high-level corruption and looting of state funds for the purpose of increasing the personal wealth and political power of the ruling class. Shadow state1 – a state where political power is wielded as a means to personal self- enrichment and state institutions are subverted to support those needs. Behind the laws and government institutions of such states is a parallel system of personal rule. Leaders of these states are typically able to exploit their country’s public assets, particularly natural resources, through the subversion of bureaucratic institutions and the monopoly on the use of violence. In this way, they can enrich themselves and pay for the means to stay in power. 1 Country for sale – how Cambodia’s elite has captured the country’s extractive industries Map Glossary of key terms Contents Recommendations Summary Chapter I: Cambodia’s extractive industries – the stakes are high Minerals – an introduction Oil and gas – an introduction Cambodia today: From democracy experiment to one-party kleptocracy Box 1: Wasted wood – the lessons of illegal logging Box

    Introductionits own to CAMBODIANta dard size f LAWth AS ogo: 15 Hor Peng, Kong Phallack,vale t, nJörg blac Menzelor in whit (Eds.) . The “ THE KONRAD-ADENAUER-STIFTUNG Freedom, justice and solidarity are the basic principles underlying the work of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS). KAS is a political founda- tion, closely associated with the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU). As co-founder of the CDU and the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Konrad Adenauer (1876-1967) united Christian- social, conservative and liberal traditions. His name is synonymous with the democratic reconstruction of Germany, the firm alignment of foreign policy with the trans-atlantic community of values, the vision of a unified Europe and an orientation towards the social market economy. In our European and international cooperation with more than 70 offices abroad and projects in over 120 countries, we make a unique contribution to the promotion of democracy, the rule of law and a social market economy. The office in Cambodia has been established in 1994. KAS in Cambodia is mainly operating in the following fields: Administrative Reform and Decentralization, Strengthening Political Parties and Parliaments, Legal Reform, Media Development, Political Education and Social Market Economy, as well as Foreign Policy Consultancy. © Copyright 2012 by Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung, Cambodia Publisher Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung House No. 4, Street 462, Khan Chamkar Mon, P.O.

  • Honours Thesis
    Sino-Cambodia 2010 - 2018: To what extent has the Chinese Government contributed to the decline of multiparty democracy in Cambodia? Emma Goldrick Honours 2020 Department of Government and International Relations The University of Sydney Word Count: 18, 677 Student ID: 470410042 This thesis has been submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree ‘Bachelor of Arts (Honours). This work is substantially my own, and where any part of this work is not my own, it has been indicated by acknowledging the source of that part of those parts of the work. 1 Abstract: Cambodia has become an integral component of China’s strategic objectives throughout Southeast Asia. China’s intention to expand the Belt and Road Initiative through Southeast Asia is contingent on its ability to maintain healthy cooperation with the Hun Sen administration in Cambodia. Through the patron-client dynamic of Sino-Cambodian relations, China has secured rights to vital deep-water ports, hydroelectric dams, vital BRI infrastructure and access to the South China Sea. In recent years, Prime Minister Hun Sen’s, Cambodian People’s Party (CPP), has received international criticism and sanctions from traditional aid- donors for infringing on democratic rights. As a result of this, the CPP has become asymmetrically dependent on Chinese economic patronage. This thesis seeks to determine the extent to which the Chinese Government has contributed to the decline of multiparty democracy in Cambodia between 2010 and 2018. To achieve this, the paper conducts a process tracing analysis to determine causation between Chinese patronage and the breakdown of democracy in Cambodia. In doing so, this thesis uses the theoretical framework of patron-client to understand the actions of China and Cambodia alike.
