To understand the particularities of the country's transition and Cambodia's unfolding encounter with neoliberal capitalism, the book pursues the circuits of desire connecting the constellation of objects and relations, which is identified as Cambodia. Chapters focus on the pre-colonial empire of Angkor, the invasions of Siam and Vietnam in the nineteenth century, the devastation of the Khmer Rouge genocide and the subsequent Vietnamese occupation, and the present rapacity of Hun Sen's neoliberal government. A creative combination of auto-ethnography, critical theory, and area studies and the analysis of a historical moment, the book is of interest to academics working on comparative politics, Asian studies, holocaust studies, critical theory, and in the politics of aesthetics."$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge contemporary Southeast Asia series ;$v58 606 $aPolitical culture$zCambodia 606 $aDemocracy$zCambodia 606 $aNeoliberalism$zCambodia 607 $aCambodia$xPolitics and government 607 $aCambodia$xSocial conditions 607 $aCambodia$xEconomic conditions 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aDemocracy 615 0$aNeoliberalism 676 $a320.9596 686 $aPOL000000$2bisacsh 700 $aLim$b Alvin Cheng-Hin.$01788336 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910960704703321 996 $aCambodia and the politics of aesthetics$94489015 997 $aUNINA
