The degree of institutionalization of individual parties within the system has thus far been noticeably uneven, with the CPP being the only political party without any history of party merger or party schism. Despite its relatively institutionalized party organization, the CPP has been characterized by personalistic control of Prime Minister Hun Sen; an open-secret factional conflict between Prime Minister Hun Sen and the CPP’s President Chea Sim; an absence of distinct political programs; and an unstable voter base, as evidently shown by its unprecedented electoral decline in the July 2013 election. Puzzled by this very characteristic of Cambodia’s party system, this thesis seeks to understand the nature and development of the CPP, and subsequently analyze why the CPP has institutionalized the way it has.

  • 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.
