Beyond Democracy in Cambodia: Political Reconstruction in a Post-Conflict Society (Democracy in Asia)

The peace agreement, major reconstruction efforts, and UN-supervised elections that followed Cambodia s dark period of civil war and genocide have not brought the democracy and reconstruction that was hoped for. This volume (written by a broad mix of Khmer and non-Khmer researchers) is the first study to assess the post-conflict democratization and reconstruction process in Cambodia in a systematic and in-depth empirical way.
