Abstract

In Cambodia 2003 was an election year in which the results of the ballot were apparently not accepted by those who lost the election. The incumbent Prime Minister Hun Sen (the strongman), the opposition leader Sam Rainsy (the terrible man), and the National Assembly president Prince Ranariddh (the invisible man) could not agree upon a satisfactory power-sharing formula, with the latter two joining up in an attempt to deny the former of the country's premiership despite a convincing victory by Hun Sen's Cambodian Peoples' Party (CPP) in the July election. The outcome was the dissolution of the ruling coalition, a hung (suspended) government, and an uncertain political climate that prevailed throughout the second half of the year.
