This was mainly due to a lack of available coordinating staff. Sapho Briand, who is normally in charge of coordinating the network, has been very busy with the development of the Manusastra project’s activities in the last six months, with the organization of its second Summer University, also called “Université des Moussons”, and the setting up of a new Master’s degree at the Royal University of Fine Arts, which will be launched in September 2014. For more information on the Manusastra project, please visit: https://sites.google.com/site/manusastraum/ Luckily, YOUK Sopheak, who recently graduated from the Royal University of Fine Arts, has agreed to join the HSEPP’s coordinating team from November 2013. HSEPP activities should therefore come back to a more frequent rate from November 2013 onwards. A warm welcome and thank you to YOUK Sopheak for its kind contribution!

Today's Lao, Vietnamese and Cambodian landscapes bear the imprint of competing violent ideologies and their perilous material manifestations. From battlefields and massively bombed terrain to reeducation camps and resettled villages, the past lingers on in the physical environment. http://www.nus.edu.sg/nuspress/subjects/history/978-9971-69-701-3.html Decentralization and the promise of indigenous peoples' empowerment: the case of the World Bank in Cambodia, by Stefan Ehrentraut This article analyzes the application of the World Bank's safeguards policy for indigenous peoples within the institution's support to decentralization reform in Cambodia. The analysis demonstrates that under certain circumstances, the policy not only fails to translate into effective protection but leads to outcomes diametrically opposed to its objectives. In its current design, Bank support to decentralization contributes to the marginalization of indigenous peoples in Cambodia and undermines the institutional, cultural and natural resources upon which their empowerment and participation depends. In environments in which full compliance might be unrealistic to accomplish by individual projects, safeguard obligations lead to a strategy on the part of Bank projects of avoiding geographical and policy areas that are likely to trigger the safeguards policy, in order to reduce projects’ vulnerability to non-compliance claims. The article discusses how more effective application of the safeguards policy might be achieved and how strategies for the empowerment of indigenous peoples can more effectively draw on decentralization frameworks. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09512748.2010.546872 Perpetually temporary: citizenship and ethnic Vietnamese in Cambodia There is a clear trend in Western democratic countries towards regularizing the status of long-term ethnic minority residents through the conferral of full and equal citizenship rights. Ethnic minorities who arrived as irregular or temporary migrants in the West are increasingly allowed to follow the immigrant path towards integration into the broader citizenry. This is largely due to recognition that the price of exclusion is not only unjust, but it increases the risk of racial tensions, criminality, and social violence. Investigating the relevance of these Western developments to Cambodia, this article focuses on Cambodia’s ethnic Vietnamese minority. Despite residing in Cambodia for generations, ethnic Vietnamese have traditionally been regarded as ‘foreign residents’ and denied citizenship. Based on extensive field research, this article considers the history and reality of Cambodia’s ethnic Vietnamese minority as well as the ethnically-exclusionary policies and practices of the state and Khmer majority towards them. http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/01419870.2010.537359 Hill, H. and J. Menon (2013). "Cambodia: Rapid Growth with Weak Institutions." Asian Economic Policy Review 8(1): 46-65. This paper examines Cambodia's socioeconomic development since the early 1990s peace settlement. The country's economic growth has arguably been the fastest among post-conflict societies, driven by the credible restoration of peace and security, large public and private capital inflows, economic openness, reasonably prudent macroeconomic management, and a dynamic, integrating neighborhood. A legacy of history and small size is that the government has limited policy space, although this has not necessarily retarded economic development. We also highlight some key challenges, including rising inequality, uneven spatial development, weak institutions, and high levels of corruption. Looking forward, we highlight the importance of strengthening supply side capabilities, broadening the benefits of growth, and developing stronger institutions and property rights. http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aepr.12003/abstract Reimer, J. K. and P. Walter (2013). "How do you know it when you see it? Community-based ecotourism in the Cardamom Mountains of southwestern Cambodia." Tourism Management 34(0): 122-132. In this case study of a community-based ecotourism project in the rainforest of southwestern Cambodia, Honey’s (2008) analytical framework for “authentic” ecotourism is applied to examine the social dimensions of sustainable ecotourism. Following a discussion of the meaning of ecotourism in the literature and an overview of ecotourism in Cambodia, the study site, research methodology and findings are presented. In this exploratory case study, qualitative research methods included participant observation, interviews, focus groups and analysis of project documents. Findings for each of Honey’s seven analytical categories showed the complexity of community-based ecotourism in addressing often contradictory concerns of environmental conservation, local livelihood, and cultural preservation, and the importance of local context to management of ecotourism. The social dimension of gender, while not explicit in Honey’s framework, was also seen to be a key analytical category for community-based ecotourism and sustainable development. http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0261517712000659 Singh, P. N., S. Khieng, et al. (2013). "Validity and Reliability of Survey Items and Pictograms for Use in a National Household Survey of Tobacco Use in Cambodia." Asia-Pacific Journal of Public Health. The validity of survey measures of smoked and smokeless tobacco use in the Western Pacific Region is often unknown. We conducted a validation study (n = 201) in a random sample of rural adults in Cambodia. A comparison with salivary cotinine indicated (1) that survey items and pictograms of current tobacco use had an 87% (95% confidence interval [CI] = 78%-93%) sensitivity, 94% specificity (95% CI = 87%-98%), and 93% (95% CI = 85%-97%) positive predictive value in detecting cotinine levels >10 ng/mL; (2) a positive correlation with number of cigarettes smoked (R = 0.34; P = .01); and (3) a positive correlation with the amount of tobacco chewed (R = 0.44; P = .02). The validity of the index for the amount of smokeless tobacco used was enhanced by adding to the index the data from pictograms that were utilized to help participants estimate the amount of loose tobacco used per session. These tobacco items and pictograms were found to have excellent reliability (κ = 0.80-1) over 2 to 3 weeks. Interviewer-administered survey items and pictograms can provide an accurate, quantitative measure of smoked and smokeless tobacco use in rural Cambodia. http://aph.sagepub.com/content/early/2013/05/16/1010539513486920.abstract Call for papers / conferences Call for paper: The 40th annual meeting of the French Colonial Historical Society.
