This publication is a collection of selected original papers and articles that CICP would like to disseminate to a broad audience of academics, policy makers, students, the diplomatic community, NGO’s and think tanks, and citizens within Cambodia’s society. Our goal is to raise awareness and also stimulate both critical thinking and debate on challenging issues and emerging trends in Cambodia and Southeast Asia. Our work is imperative to disseminate relevant and interesting research materials, essays, and opinion pieces that contribute to the maintenance of political and social stability as well as to the promotion of a vibrant research community in Cambodia.

One of the most important methods to help the public understand the difference between rumors and facts, propaganda and hard data is to give them the ability to conduct valid research and to disseminate these scientific findings within the society.

With continuing human rights concerns over land grabbing, and in the wake of the Cambodian government‘s recent land policy issuing thousands of land titles to people in land conflict areas, study is needed to understand how people construct and experience security and insecurity over land, and action is needed to bridge the gap between people‘s experience and policy and investment practice in land.
