Krátky popis
A fascinating analysis of the recent history of the beautiful but
troubled Southeast Asian nation of Cambodia To many in the West,
the name Cambodia still conjures up indelible images of destruction
and death, the legacy of the brutal Khmer Rouge regime and the
terror it inflicted in its attempt to create a communist utopia in
the 1970s. Sebastian Strangio, a journalist based in the capital
city of Phnom Penh, now offers an eye-opening appraisal of
modern-day Cambodia in the years following its emergence from
bitter conflict and bloody upheaval. In the early 1990s, Cambodia
became the focus of the UN's first great post-Cold War
nation-building project, with billions in international aid rolling
in to support the fledgling democracy.But since the UN-supervised
elections in 1993, the nation has slipped steadily backward into
neo-authoritarian rule under Prime Minister Hun Sen. Behind a
mirage of democracy, ordinary people have few rights and corruption
infuses virtually every facet of everyday life. In this lively and
compelling study, the first of its kind, Strangio explores the
present state of Cambodian society under Hun Sen's leadership,
painting a vivid portrait of a nation struggling to reconcile the
promise of peace and democracy with a violent and tumultuous past.
