    Policy Making for Sustainable Development and the Yeak Laom Commune Protected Area Consultant Report Kenneth G. Riebe International Development Research Centre of Canada and UNDP/CARERE-Ratanakiri CAMBODIA February 1999 2 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS In a broad and general way this report covers over three years of work developing a sustainable development policy strategy for Northeast Cambodia. In a much more specific manner it deals with the experience of Yeak Laom Commune Protected Area, in Ratanakiri Province. Program activities took place both in Phnom Penh and Ratanakiri, with a fair amount of travel in between.

The external pressures generated from immigration of lowlanders from other provinces and from Cambodian and foreign investment in land, for industrial agriculture crops such as oil palm, rubber, cassava, kapok, coffee, etc., and especially logging, are all contributing to the increasing disenfranchisement of the Highlanders.

    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
