Book Description

After more than 30 years Anne Greves feels compelled to break her silence about her first lover, and a treacherous pursuit across Cambodia's killing fields. Once she was a motherless girl from taciturn immigrant stock. Defying fierce opposition, she falls in love with Serey, a gentle rebel and exiled musician. She's still only 16 when he leaves her in their Montreal flat to return to Cambodia And, after a decade without word, she abandons everything to search for him in the bars of Phnom Penh, a city traumatized by the Khmer Rouge slaughter. Against all odds the lovers are reunited, and in a political country where tranquil rice paddies harbour the bones of the massacred, Anne pieces together a new life with Serey. But there are wounds that love cannot heal, and some mysteries too dangerous to know. And when Serey disappears again, Anne discovers a story she cannot bear. Haunting, vivid, elegiac, The Disappeared is a tour de force; at once a battle cry and a piercing lamentation, for truth, for love.

Recycling of Garment Factory Waste: A Case study of KongKear Phos Community in Phnom Penh, Cambodia [Paperback]

Book Description

With growing consciousness of environmental degradation, recycling is encouraged everywhere. But there are poor communities who recycle for survival and thereby contribute to environmental conservation. This study is about one such poor community living in the squatter settlement of Kongkear Phos, on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, the capital of Cambodia. There are many garment factories adjacent to this settlement. The study investigates the potential of this poor community to reuse factory waste to improve its income and living conditions, and foster overall development. The settlement began in 1993. Since 1995 its people are collecting scrap from the factories to produce T-shirts, trousers, hats and bags to sell in the market. This informal sector activity has grown overtime and enabled residents to earn income and support themselves. The recycling activities of these people have also reduced the volume of waste in the city, saved natural resources, prolonged the life of sanitary landfills and reduced environmental pollution. This study should be of interest to professionals, students, researchers or anyone interested in utilizing industrial waste for recycling.

Book Description

Products and services for Bottom of the Pyramid consumers have been neglected for a long time. Until now, most of the products designed for the poor have been strongly subsidized or given away free of charge. As the present shows, the output is far away from being satisfying. Time has come to take the BoP consumers seriously and to treat them in appropriate ways. This book analyses the challenges in marketing which arise by scaling up the point-of-use water treatment systems. The knowledge that markets and consumers in developing countries do not behave the same way than they do in the developed world is just one step to succeed. But there is usually far more needed than just adapt marketing, because the consumers often have to change their behaviour. That is the point where social marketing comes in. This book shows one possible approach about how to construct a promising social marketing strategy for water purifiers in developing markets. Furthermore it includes a field study about the IDE Cambodia?s ceramic water purifier distribution system, its problems and how it could be improved.

Book Description

Seminar paper from the year 2001 in the subject Economics - Case Scenarios, printed single-sided, grade: A oder 98%, César Ritz Colleges (Economic Institute), 10 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: For my term paper fall 2001 I chose the Kingdom of Cambodia. I travelled South East Asia in 1995 and 1997, saw all the major attractions and countries of the area, but Cambodia struck me most. Its fantastic nature, friendly people and archaeological sites overwhelmed me. Cambodia lies in South East Asia and is surrounded by three countries: Thailand in the west, Vietnam in the east and Laos in the north. In the south its coastline runs along the Gulf of Thailand. Its land area is 181,035 sq km and approximately 12,1 million people live there. As Cambodia is now about to recover from around 30 years of civil war and anarchy, many reasons of the nowadays problems can be found in the historical events. The "Killing Fields" are still in everybody's mind as a symbol for a cruel genocide that took place under the rule of the Khmer Rouge. But Cambodia is also famous for its archaeological places, like "Ankor Wat", the biggest temple side of the world. To explain and analyse the actual macroeconomic situation, I want to give a brief overview over the recent history of the last 60 years first.

Dependent Communities: Aid and Politics in Cambodia and East Timor [Paperback]

Author: Caroline Hughes Publisher: Southeast Asia Program Publications Publishing Date: 1st Edition, 2009 Paperback: 275 pages Language: English ISBN-10: 0877277486 ISBN-13: 978-0877277484 Format: Paperback, Hardcover Series: Studies on Southeast Asia Product Dimensions: 7 x 0.8 x 10 inches Shipping Weight: 15.5 ounces Buy at Amazon

Book Description

Dependent Communities investigates the political situations in contemporary Cambodia and East Timor, where powerful international donors intervened following deadly civil conflicts. This comparative analysis critiques international policies that focus on rebuilding state institutions to accommodate the global market. In addition, it explores the dilemmas of politicians in Cambodia and East Timor who struggle to satisfy both wealthy foreign benefactors and constituents at home-groups whose interests frequently conflict.Hughes argues that the policies of Western aid organizations tend to stifle active political engagement by the citizens of countries that have been torn apart by war. The neoliberal ideology promulgated by United Nations administrations and other international NGOs advocates state sovereignty, but in fact "sovereignty" is too flimsy a foundation for effective modern democratic politics. The result is an oppressive peace that tends to rob survivors and former resistance fighters of their agency and aspirations for genuine postwar independence.In her study of these two cases, Hughes demonstrates that the clientelist strategies of Hun Sen, Cambodia's postwar leader, have created a shadow network of elites and their followers that has been comparatively effective in serving the country's villages, even though so often coercive and corrupt. East Timor's postwar leaders, on the other hand, have alienated voters by attempting to follow the guidelines of the donors closely and ignoring the immediate needs and voices of the people.Dependent Communities offers a searing analysis of contemporary international aid strategies based on the author's years of fieldwork in Cambodia and East Timor.
