He is the author of Behind the Façade: Elections Under Au- thoritarianism in Southeast Asia (2016). Tragedy runs like a thread through the history of Cambodian politics. Since 1953, when the country gained its independence from France, it has endured four coups, three foreign invasions, one civil war, and a cataclysmic genocide carried out by the Communist Party of Kam- puchea (better known as the Khmer Rouge) between 1975 and 1979. Authoritarian rule has been a reliable accompaniment to this massive suffering—the genocide is thought to have killed as much as a quarter of the population—and unfair elections have in turn been a reliable ac- companiment to authoritarianism. Monarchs, military juntas, personal- ist dictators, and dominant parties have all repeatedly used such bogus elections to prolong their time in power. For eighteen months in 1992 and 1993, the United Nations intervened directly.

  • Cambodia Parliamentary Elections, 27 July 2008

Press release by EU Election Observation Mission (29 July 2008) D. Preliminary statement of the EU Election Observation Mission (29 July 2008) E. Official election results 1 Introduction Following an invitation from the Royal Government of Cambodia, the Conference of Presidents decided at its meeting on 12 June 2008 to authorise the sending of a delegation of the European Parliament to observe the Cambodian National Assembly elections, which took place on 27 July 2008. The delegation was composed of seven Members appointed by the political groups in accordance with the rolling d'Hondt system (the list of participants is annexed to this report). As is usual, the European Parliament's delegation was fully integrated into the European Union Election Observation Mission (EU EOM), which was led by Mr Martin Callanan, MEP. This EOM opened its offices in Phnom Penh on 13 June 2008 and 44 long-term observers were deployed a week later in all 20 provinces and 4 municipalities, thus covering the 24 constituencies. On Election Day, some 130 EU observers were deployed throughout the country. The 2008 National Assembly elections were the fourth multi-party elections since the signing of the peace agreement in 1991. The previous elections in 2003 were also observed by a delegation of the European Parliament and Mr Glyn Ford was the Chairman on that occasion, too. A number of preparatory meetings took place in Brussels and Strasbourg before the EP delegation left, during which Members had the opportunity to examine the political situation in the country and decide on the most appropriate deployment plan.

In October, Prince Ranariddh was stripped of his position as Funcinpec president by his own party. And in March 2007, with less than a month to go until the April 1 commune council elections in which he hoped to compete, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison in absentia for selling Funcinpec's headquarters and buying new land registered in his own name.

  • Opposition Parties and Elite Co-Optation in Electoral Autocracies

Copyright ©2021 by authors. All rights reserved. Opposition Parties and Elite Co-optation in Electoral Autocracies Berker Kavasoglu∗ Abstract Autocratic incumbents often attempt to co-opt select opposition party leaders to minimize threats to their rule. While the literature identifies co-optation of opposition party leaders as an important survival strategy of autocrats in electoral autocracies, we lack a systematic examination of why some opposition party leaders are co-opted but not others. This article argues that opposition party co-optation is shaped by both inter- and intra-party dynamics. Using a novel data set on opposition party organizations in electoral autocracies between 1970 and 2019, I show that opposition parties with high mobilizational capacity and those that devolve internal decision-making authority from the party leadership to lower cadres are less likely to be co-opted, especially when they are ideological distant from autocratic incumbents.

  • Small State Diplomacy: Cambodia's Foreign Policy Towards Viet Nam." by Thearith Leng
    Small State Diplomacy: Cambodia’s Foreign Policy Towards Viet Nam Thearith Leng A thesis in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Humanities and Social Sciences The University of New South Wales, Canberra March 2018 Thesis/ Dissertation Sheet Surname/Family Name : Leng Given Name/s : Thearith Abbreviation for degree as give in the University calendar : PhD Faculty : University of New South Wales Canberra School : Humanities and Social Sciences Thesis Title : Small State Diplomacy: Cambodia’s Foreign Policy Towards Viet Nam Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) This thesis is a case study of how Cambodia as a small state managed its relations with Viet Nam, a larger state. A review of the literature on small states in general and Cambodian foreign policy in particular identified three major state strategies – balancing, bandwagoning and hedging. The literature review also revealed that there was wide divergence among specialists about the specific instruments used by small states to pursue their chosen strategy. Field work was carried out in Cambodia and Vietnam to access archives and library holdings of pertinent documents and publications to supplement library research in Australia. Interviews were conducted in Cambodia and Vietnam with government officials and subject matter experts to supplement these primary and secondary source materials. This thesis examined Cambodia-Vietnam relations in seven historical periods from 1620 to 2017 during which Cambodia experienced marked changes in regime type from a weak pre-colonial state (1620-1863), French protectorate (1863-53, independent kingdom (1953-70), republic (1970-75), communist/Khmer Rouge (1975-79), occupied client state (1979-89) United Nations supervision (1990-93), coalition government (1993-97) and one-party state (1997-17).
