While this group did not have the upper hand from the mid-1990s, they were still a significant force, allied with technocrats in the bureaucracy. Girling’s work provides a helpful synthesis of the major writings on Thai political economy during the past decade or so. It has copious footnotes, but sorely lacks a bibliography to help illuminate the way through them. The book is not an introductory text, nor is it intended for the general reader. Its target audience is the advanced student of either Thai politics or the comparative politics of newly-industrializing countries.

NSW, Australia: Allen & Unwin Pty Ltd., 1994. 283 pp. Cambodia’s monarch-turned political leader, Norodom Sihanouk, has been viewed by Cambodia historian David Chandler as “one of Asia’s most flamboyant and enduring figures”. This assertion makes Milton Osborne’s book under review worth reading, partly because of Cam- bodia’s endless tragedies in the last few decades and partly because the Prince has outlived many of his enemies. The leading figures such as former Defence Minister Lon Nol and Prince Sisowath Sirik Matak (Sihanouk’s cousin), who had put him out of power in a coup d’etat in March 1970, have long been dead.

The Paris Agreement of 27 January 1973 was intended, at least by some of its authors, to end the war and to bring peace to Vietnam and Indochina. Studies on the Agreement have gen­ erally focused on the American retreat from Vietnam and the military and political consequences leading to the fall of Saigon in April 1975. This study will seek to explore a number of questions which remain controversial. It addresses itself to considering whether under the circumstances prevailing between 1973 and 1974 the Paris Agreement could have worked. In the light of these circum­ stances it argues that the Agreement sought to establish a frame­ work for future stability and economic development through multilateral aid and rehabilitation aimed at the eventual survival of South Vietnam.

  • Economic History of Industrialization in Cambodia
    Working Paper No. 7 Economic history of industrialization in Cambodia 1 2 Sokty Chhair and Luyna Ung Abstract The industrialization which started in 1953 had been completely disrupted by the chronic civil war and closed-door policy of successive communism/socialism regimes. Since 1993 Cambodia has embraced a market economy heavily dependent on foreign capital and foreign markets. As a result, the economy has experienced high economic growth rate yet with low linkage to domestic economy. The government’s Rice Export Policy introduced in 2010 to diversify its economy, maximize its value added and job creation was highly evaluated to bring those benefits under the environment of weak governance. Whether similar kind of such a policy for other sectors is successful remains to be seen.

    [email protected] The History of Cambodia from 1st Century to 20th Century [9] Quadruple murderous Imperialists 1900-1945 SLK 05/02/2009 The French government forced Prince Monivong to give Khmer Kandal to Yuon control like the French Government had done 10 years later in Khmer Krom by giving all power to Emperor Boa Dai’s control. Sieng Khoeum said: “Prince Monivong didn’t agree to sign flatly, even though the French intimidated him to be imprisoned. SLK v.2 [9] Quadruple murderous Imperialists 1900-1945 AFTER Khmer is a good sandwich on silver plate between Siamese and Yuonese from 1432 to 1900 to become a tiny present-Cambodia. When we Khmer victims think back of the glorious pasts, which it makes us all feeling so extremely Nostalgia for a tiny Present-Cambodia, has been brutally raped repeatedly by Khmers’ 6-Formidable-Canerous-old-Century Hereditary- Enemies-the fugitives of Mongols, Siamese in the West; and the prisoners of Mongols, Yuonese in the East. The biggest blot by the French during their ninety years’ control was their failure to educate the Cambodians. As the French ran all three Indochinese colonies from the Vietnamese cities of Hanoi and Saigon/Prey Nokor, they concentrated on educating the Vietnamese and training them to be officials for not only Vietnam but also Cambodia and Laos. And the French colonialism had also committed so much brutal crime against Khmers during their Reign of Terror from 1863 to 1954 by having inhumane conspiracies with Vietnamese to kill too many Khmer nationalists and compatriots. It greatly angered Cambodians to have Vietnamese officials running Cambodia’s administration; also the open border between Cambodia and Vietnam that many hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese settlers moved into Cambodia, particularly to the fertile area around the Tonle Sap Lake.

  • U.S.-Cambodia Relations (PDF: 9.28
    President Obama’s Letter to His Majesty King Norodom Sihamoni on the Occasion of the 60th Anniversary of Diplomatic Relations between the United States and Cambodia Your Majesty: On behalf of the American people, I wish to congratulate the Kingdom of Cambodia on the Occasion of the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries. This important milestone presents us with the opportunity to reflect on our shared past and to plot a course for the future based on the strong foundation we have built together. Both Cambodia and the United States have changed immensely since July 11, 1950, when our first Ambassador to your country presented his credentials to King Sihanouk. As with any bilateral relationship, there have been times when we have not agreed, but the overall growth in the depth and breadth of our engagement reflects a maturing partnership. Over the last several years, for example, we have seen many positive developments, including the establishment of the Peace Corps program in Cambodia, the creation of the Extraordinary Cambers of the Courts in Cambodia and completion of its first trial, and the inauguration of Cambodia’s peacekeeping force, a truly momentous achievement for a coutry that was the beneficiary of peacekeepers less than two decades before. The United States is now the top market for Cambodia’s garment exporters, forming a pillar for the country’s economic growth. Military-to-military and counterterrism cooperation between our two countries has grown as well, creating a safer environment for both Americans and Cambodians. In the coming years, we look forward to taking advantage of the positive momentum that has been created and to see the patnership between our two nations grow stronger and deeper in areas such as food security, climate change, health, education, human rights, and strengthening democratic institutions.
