Abstract

��� ��� A number of major events occurred in 2012 signalling Cambodia’s movement deeper into an era of transformation in the spheres of politics, economics, and international affairs. The country’s economy continued to be strong, growing at around 6.6 per cent. Cambodia received international attention as it assumed the rotating chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Cambodia’s politics witnessed deeper consolidation of power by Prime Minister Hun Sen and his party, the Cambodian People’s Party (CPP). This chapter addresses these changes, juxtaposing views of the regime’s opponents and proponents around four themes: Hun Sen’s power consolidation, decentralization and the reconfiguring of opposition parties, socio-economic development, and foreign relations.
