  • The Cross Thai-Cambodian Border's Commerce Between 1863
    ISSN 2411-9571 (Print) European Journal of Economics September-December 2017 ISSN 2411-4073 (online) and Business Studies Volume 3, Issue 3 The Cross Thai-Cambodian Border’s Commerce Between 1863 -1953 from the View of French’s Documents Nathaporn Thaijongrak, Ph.D Lecturer of Department of History, Faculty of Social Sciences, Srinakharinwirot University Abstract The purpose of this research aims to study and collect data with detailed information of the cross Thai- Cambodian border’s commerce in the past from French’s documents and to provide information as a guideline for potential development of Thai-Cambodian Border Trade. The method used in this research is the qualitative research. The research instrument used historical methods by collecting information from primary and secondary sources, then to analysis process. The research discovered the pattern of trade between Cambodia and Siam that started to be affected when borders were established. Since Cambodia was under French’s rule as one of French’s nation, France tried to delimit and demarcate the boundary lines which divided the community that once cohabitated into a community under new nation state. In each area, traditions, rules and laws are different, but people lived along the border continued to bring their goods to exchange for their livings. This habit is still continuing, even the living communities are divided into different countries. For such reason, it was the source of "Border trade” in western concept. The Thai-Cambodian border’s trade during that period under the French protectorate of Cambodia was effected because of the rules and law which illustrated the sovereignty of the land.

  • S-1 Part I: Immediate Actions for Special Promotion Zone
    The Study on Regional Development of the Phnom Penh-Sihanoukville Growth Corridor in The Kingdom of Cambodia PART I: IMMEDIATE ACTIONS FOR SPECIAL PROMOTION ZONE 1. Conclusions and Recommendations for Special Promotion Zone1 1.01 Role of Growth Corridor Area for Economic Development The Growth Corridor area is where the strength of economic development is highest in Cambodia. The area should accommodate new industries in Cambodia to diversify the export commodities and accumulate new technologies. Particularly, the Municipality of Sihanoukville in the hinterland of the Port of Sihanoukville, the only deep seaport of Cambodia, will be a strategically important area for the future of Cambodia, in parallel with the western suburbs of Phnom Penh around the international airport. Specific development strategies and projects discussed in this Study need to be contemplated as a basis for regional development planning of Growth Corridor area. 1.02 Strong Measures Necessary to Diversify Growth Base To prepare for the probable removal of national export quotas and increasing advocacy of regional free trade, Cambodia must diversify its export commodities and export markets. Cambodia needs to diversify the export industries primarily by Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) with necessary technologies and capital, and enhance domestic industries that could provide interactions. Better utilization of local resources other than labor will have to be promoted to increase the value of the resources. Nonetheless, the climate of investment environment of Cambodia is not bright, with unstable domestic conditions and severe international competition, particularly after the accession of China to World Trade Organization (WTO). Cambodia needs to device strong and effective measures to attract FDI by establishing legal base and pilot area with good infrastructure with competitive prices.

This report presents the socioeconomic and poverty situation in the project areas of the Uplands Irrigation and Water Resources Management Sector Project in Cambodia. The project areas are located in the provinces of Battambang and Kampong Thom.

It will be implemented in two irrigation schemes, namely, Prek Chik Irrigation Scheme located in Battambang Province and Taing Krasaing Irrigation Scheme located in Kampong Thom Province. The social and poverty assessment of the project examines the socioeconomic conditions in the project areas and identifies the population that will be impacted. It identifies the existing irrigation and agriculture situation in relation to poverty condition of the existing population within the proposed irrigation schemes. It presents the poverty situation in terms of the poverty rate and identifies the vulnerable population which may be impacted by the project. B. Development Scenario and Socioeconomic Development Policies and Plans 2.
