 Safeguarding Peace: Cambodia's Constitutional Challenge
Cambodia has little tradition of civil associations, however, and despite the recent proliferation of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) involved in human rights monitoring and democracy education, the ability of civil society to 'discipline' the government remains limited.
Apart from their political relationships, however, editors also worried about leaders who could act without constraint, about political competition that was not channelled into peaceful confrontation, and about the build-up of armed bodyguard units bound by loyalty to their political patron but outside the law.
Cambodia's leaders can no longer hide behind the language of democracy and must realise that their people are more politically aware than ever before in their history.

 Cambodia's History
The 13th and 14th centuries were not as successful for Cambodia, some believe it was due to the increased power of (and wars with) Thai kingdoms that had at one time paid homage to Angkor.
Cambodia was ravaged by Vietnamese and Thai invasions and wars up until the 19th century, when new dynasties in these countries fought over control of Cambodia.
A name change for the country was in order, so in 1993 Cambodia became known as the Kingdom of Cambodia and Sihanouk became the king once again after ratifying a new constitution which re-established the monarchy.

 In Cambodia: Politics, People And The Enviroment ~ by Evan Weinberger
As with all of the journalists in Cambodia covering the country’s third national election, I wanted the elections to go off smoothly and for the country to continue on with its march to democracy.
People knew they were poor — Cambodia is one of the world’s poorest countries — and people saw the numbing number of people who had lost limbs, either in war or because of the unexploded land mines and bombs left behind, but a civil society was starting to develop.
No RPG rounds were fired into any of the political parties I met, and the parameters of a deal for a new government were arrived at on November 5.

 Asia Society - Publications -
Cambodia has a place in many peoples' consciousness to a degree far in excess of what might be expected given the country's small size and limited economic and strategic importance.
Aware of Cambodia's recent tragic past and concerned for the country's uncertain future, in early 1996 the Asia Society, Johns Hopkins' Paul H. Nitze School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS), and the Asia Foundation initiated a project on Cambodia and the International Community: The Road Ahead.
While the release of Cambodia and the International Community concludes this particular project, during 1998 the Asia Society and SAIS are continuing to address developments in Cambodia and in U.S. policy toward Cambodia through a series of occasional meetings and short reports.

 The Cambodia Coup (Part 1 of 2)
Cambodia gained its independence from France in 1953, after years under colonial rule, and immediately was thrust into the middle of a war.
Prince Norodom Sihanouk, Cambodia's leader, had to balance his nation between the American and Communist influences in the region without making enemies on either side, since Cambodia was not strong enough to resist either force.
He murdered any possible threat to his Communist rule: former political and military leaders, intellectuals and professors, high-ranking businessmen, foreign-born laborers, and anybody else he felt like killing.

 Cambodia - The Sihanouk-Hun Sen Meeting
Included in the concrete questions were "the withdrawal of Vietnamese troops, Cambodia's future government, and Norodom Sihanouk's position." Hun Sen also revealed that during the meeting Sihanouk had told him that "the future political regime of Cambodia" should be a French-style democracy with a multiparty system and free radio and television.
It was equally clear that progress toward a political settlement hinged chiefly on the credibility of Vietnam's announced intention to withdraw from Cambodia by 1990 and that this withdrawal alone was insufficient to guarantee a peaceful solution to Cambodia's problems.
Still another critical question was whether or not an eventual political settlement was sufficient to assure a new Cambodia that was neutral, nonaligned, and noncommunist.
