She also asks whether economic factors in some way instigated war and revolution. In exploring these issues, the book tracks the erratic path taken by Cambodia's political elite and colonial rulers to develop a national economy. The book closes around 2005, by which time Cambodia had be reintegrated into both the regional and into the global economy as a fully-fledged member of the World Trade Organization. Drawing on resources from the State Archives of Cambodia, this book is relevant to investors, aid workers and development specialists seeking to understand the shift from a traditional to a modern market economy. 606 $aBusiness & Economics / Economic History$2bisacsh 606 $aEconomics 607 $aCambodia$xEconomic policy 607 $aCambodia$xEconomic conditions$y20th century 610 $aEconomics 615 7$aBusiness & Economics / Economic History 615 0$aEconomics 700 $aSlocomb$b Margaret$01070543 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910306739103321 996 $aAn Economic History of Cambodia in the Twentieth Century$92564268 997 $aUNINA
