Is the Kingdom of Cambodia a rule of law country? How much and what kind of rule of law does Cambodia need in the 21st century? What kind of it will the society be able to put in place? What is the rule of law anyway and is it indispensable? Is the rule of law a Western model that might need adaptation elsewhere? These are some of the questions addressed in this fifth edition of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung Occasional Papers on Democratic Development.
