Peace, Power and Resistance in Cambodiaby P. Lizeé
Palgrave Macmillan Ltd. 1999; US$ 138.00The political economy of emerging mechanisms of global governance entails, this book argues, the imposition of specific models of conflict resolution in peripheral regions. This has led to international peace initiatives which often lack resonance in the complex of institutions and practices at the centre of long-standing conflicts in these regions. It is at this level that the explanation for the recent failure of many of these peace initiatives can be found. The involvement of the international community in the elections held in Cambodia in 1993 and 1998 serves as a case study. more...

Cambodiaby Michael Freeman
Reaktion Books 2004; US$ 29.00Cambodia has a long and rich history, first becoming an artistic and religious power in Southeast Asia in the Angkor period (802?1432), when its kings ruled from vast temple complexes at Angkor Wat and Angkor Thom. The cultural influence of Cambodia on other countries in the region has been enormous, quite out of keeping with its reduced territory and limited political and economic power today. In Cambodia, writer and photographer Michael Freeman examines the country?s present troubled situation in the light of its political and cultural history, looking at many aspects of modern Cambodia, including the psychological effect of the outrages of Pol Pot, and how Angkor Wat has become an icon and symbol for its tourist and heritage industry.... more...
Genocide by Proxyby Michael Haas
ABC-CLIO 1991; US$ 119.95A detailed, scholarly reassessment of developments in Cambodia since December 25, 1978, when Vietnamese combat soldiers expelled the ruthless Pol Pot regime. Genocide by Proxy is an account of a country at war and of a people consigned to the role of pawn in world politics. Michael Haas contends that Cambodia became an arena for superpower conflict and thus could only find peace when the superpowers extricated themselves from the country. In providing perhaps the best explanation of the causes of the Cambodian tragedy, Haas exposes the narcissism that reigns when one state forces another to be its pawn. Haas' analysis entails a study in comparative foreign policies, an exercise that has theoretical merit for political scientists in search... more...
