Cambodia
When the Vietnam War spilled over into Cambodia, the country was launched into decades of war and social upheaval. This Accord examines the 1991 Paris agreements that officially ended Cambodia’s long war, and the subsequent violent collapse of the country's governing coalition in July 1997. The publication includes articles on elections and power-sharing, Buddhist activism, international disengagement and constitutional safeguards.
