Neoliberal economics have emerged in the post-Cold War era as the
predominant ideological tenet applied to the development of
countries in the global south. For much of the global south,
however, the promise that markets will bring increased standards of
living and emancipation from tyranny has been an empty one.
Instead, neoliberalisation has increased the gap between rich and
poor and unleashed a firestorm of social ills. This book deals with
the post-conflict geographies of violence and neoliberalisation in
Cambodia. Applying a geographical analysis to contemporary
Cambodian politics, the author employs notions of neoliberalism,
public space, and radical democracy as the most substantive
components of its theoretical edifice. He argues that the promotion
of unfettered marketisation is the foremost causal factor in the
country's inability to consolidate democracy following a United
Nations sponsored transition. The book demonstrates Cambodian
perspectives on the role of public space in Cambodia's process of
democratic development and explains the implications of violence
and its relationship with neoliberalism. Taking into account the
transition from war to peace, authoritarianism to democracy, and
command economy to a free market, this book offers a critical
appraisal of the political economy in Cambodia.
