The project is financed by the German Foundation for Peace Research and is located at the Institute for Development and Peace at the University of Duisburg-Essen. The project aims at explaining different levels of youth violence in two post-war societies whose processes of war termination are regarded as successful. However, both societies face serious problems of post-war development that are closely related to the experiences of war and war termination. While Cambodia’s democratisation process is considered more or less as a failure, Guatemala suffers from levels of violence higher than during most of the war.

  • Die Seele Der Seide – Eine Reise

    Die Seele Der Seide – Eine Reise

    Die Seele der Seide – eine Reise Klaus Rink Jänner 2018 Die Seele der Seide – eine Reise Siem Reap, September 2017 Soeben bin ich in Siem Reap gelandet. Ich genieße den kurzen Spaziergang im Freien zur Ankunftshalle dieses angenehm kleinen und überschaubaren Flughafens. Es ist ein heller, freundlicher Ort. Sogar der Raucherraum ist mit Grünpflanzen und Blumen eingerichtet. Sambo Roeurn, der mich immer fährt, wenn ich hier bin und er Zeit hat, holt mich ab und bringt mich die wenigen Kilometer hinein in die Stadt. Es ist noch Regenzeit, schwül und heiß, gelegentlich regnet es stark. Staub auf der Straße und aufgewirbelt in der Luft. Die Provinzhauptstadt Siem Reap ist das Ziel vieler Touristen, die von hier aus die nahegelegenen Tempel von Angkor besuchen, oft in Verbindung mit einem Dreitage-Ticket und Aufenthalt. Eine Beschränkung ihrer Erkundung auf die Tempel bringt ihnen das „andere“ Kambodscha nur selten nahe. Sambo, den ich inzwischen auch einen Freund nennen darf und mit dem es sich immer ausgezeichnet über die aktuelle politische Situation und die Verhältnisse im Land sprechen lässt, fährt seit 15 Jahren hier und kennt jeden Winkel. Er ist einer von Hunderten Tuk-Tuk-Fahrern, die hier täglich ihre Runden ziehen und Ausschau nach Fahrgästen halten, Tagestouren anbieten oder einfache Transportfahrten tätigen. „Hello Sir …“, „Tuk-Tuk?“ oder „Where you go today?“, so klingen die Zurufe der Fahrer, die sich um Fahrgäste bemühen. Mit Sambo trete ich die Fahrt an, die mich seit Wochen beschäftigt, zu dem Webedorf, das mir so am Herzen liegt. Doch zunächst möchte ich die Geschichte erzählen, die mich immer wieder an diesen Ort geführt hat, hierher nach Siem Reap.

  • A STUDY of the NAMES of MONUMENTS in ANGKOR (Cambodia)

    A STUDY of the NAMES of MONUMENTS in ANGKOR (Cambodia)

    A STUDY OF THE NAMES OF MONUMENTS IN ANGKOR (Cambodia) NHIM Sotheavin Sophia Asia Center for Research and Human Development, Sophia University Introduction This article aims at clarifying the concept of Khmer culture by specifically explaining the meanings of the names of the monuments in Angkor, names that have existed within the Khmer cultural community.1 Many works on Angkor history have been researched in different fields, such as the evolution of arts and architecture, through a systematic analysis of monuments and archaeological excavation analysis, and the most crucial are based on Cambodian epigraphy. My work however is meant to shed light on Angkor cultural history by studying the names of the monuments, and I intend to do so by searching for the original names that are found in ancient and middle period inscriptions, as well as those appearing in the oral tradition. This study also seeks to undertake a thorough verification of the condition and shape of the monuments, as well as the mode of affixation of names for them by the local inhabitants. I also wish to focus on certain crucial errors, as well as the insufficiency of earlier studies on the subject. To begin with, the books written in foreign languages often have mistakes in the vocabulary involved in the etymology of Khmer temples. Some researchers are not very familiar with the Khmer language, and besides, they might not have visited the site very often, or possibly also they did not pay too much attention to the oral tradition related to these ruins, a tradition that might be known to the village elders.

  • The Soul of Silk: a Journey

    The Soul of Silk: a Journey

    The Soul of Silk: A Journey Klaus Rink May 2020 The Soul of Silk: A Journey Siem Reap, September 2017 I’ve just landed in Siem Reap, and I enjoy a brief stroll outside to the arrivals terminal of this pleasantly small, manageable airport. It’s a bright, friendly place–even the smoking lounge is decorated with plants and flowers. Sambo Roeurn–my driver when I’m here, and he’s available–picks me up and takes me the few kilometers to the city. It’s still the rainy season, muggy and warm, with occasional downpours. Dust on the street, swirls up in the air. The provincial capital Siem Reap is a destination for many tourists, who use it as a base to visit the nearby Angkor Wat, often staying for three days with a three-day Angkor Pass. By confining their explorations to the temple, these tourists seldom set foot in the “other” Cambodia. Sambo, who has become a friend by this point, is always up for a great conversation about the current political situation and the country’s affairs. He’s been a driver for 15 years, and knows every turn by heart. He’s one of the hundreds of tuk-tuk drivers who make their daily rounds here, always on the lookout for passengers to offer day tours or one-way transports. “Hello, sir…”, “Tuk-tuk?” or “Where you go today?”, the drivers call out to potential passengers. With Sambo, I set out on the trip that’s been on my mind for weeks: to the weaving village I hold so dear.

    PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY ON THE HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS Final Report Summary The Study on the Road Network Development in the Kingdom of Cambodia October 2006 CHAPTER 1 HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS FOR PRE-FEASIBILITY STUDY 1.1 Short Term Projects in Master Plan To establish a realistic and effective implementation program, the Study team adopted the basic concept for an implementation program of the Master Plan as follows: (1) On-going projects should be completed in the short-term plan National road, especially 1 and 2-Digit roads are very important road network forming the national and regional economy, therefore, all the on-going rehabilitation projects related for 1-Digit and 2-Digit roads being implemented or committed by international funding agencies and donors shall be completed in the short term plan. (2) Access to the provincial capital should be improved as soon as possible Taking into consideration an importance of administration services by government to rural areas, 2-Digit roads linking to provincial capitals with a poor condition should be improved as early as possible either in short-term or medium-term plan. (3) Implementation of Urgent Bridge Rehabilitation Program Although most of 1-Digit and some important 2-Digit roads have already been rehabilitated, many of temporary bridges are still left behind in narrow and poor conditions in the completed sections of 1-Digit and 2-Digit roads. The rehabilitation of these temporary bridges are included as a part of upgrading works in the master plan, however, upgrading of these roads are planned in the medium-term of long term plan.

Abstract In 2004 a qualitative study on anti-malaria drug use was conducted in two Cambodian border areas—Sampov Lun District in Battambang Province and Sala Krau/Pailin Districts in Pailin Province. The purpose was to explore why use of first-line treatment for malaria is sub-optimal. Findings focus on: (1) why providers do not always offer biological diagnosis, (2) why practitioners prescribe and dispense drugs other than first-line treatment for malaria, particularly Plasmodium falciparum, (3) reasons clients do not use or adhere to first-line treatment, and (4) other factors which have an impact on anti-malaria drug use.
