Political Transition in Cambodia 1991-99 - Power, Elitism and Democracy

This text illustrates the limits to the 1990s UNTAC peacekeeping intervention in Cambodia and demonstrates why such an approach to conflict resolution is flawed. It shows that liberal pluralism is not necessarily a reliable vehicle for change in developing societies and challenges assumptions about the inevitability of the globalization of Liberalism as a means of ordering non-Western societies.
