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.
