Transition, Culture, and Language in Cambodia
Cambodia has transitioned away from the Communist systems and practices of the 1980s and today embraces the market economy and liberal democracy. These transitions, in turn, have affected culture. The population of Cambodia was estimated at 13.5 million in 2003. Approximately 90% of Cambodians are ethnic Khmer and speak Khmer as their native language. Cambodia&s;s contemporary history begins when King Norodom Sihanouk negotiated the country&s;s i…
Introducing Giovanni Gentile, the 'Philosopher of Fascism
This essay aims to introduce Giovanni Gentile to scholars of Gramsci studies broadly and Gramsci-education studies more specifically. The largest part of the essay explores Gentile's academic life, his philosophical agenda, and his political career. Having established a basis for understanding the educational reform Gentile enacted as Mussolini's first Minister of Public Instruction, the essay then surveys the substantial contemporaneous and cont…
Language Choice in a Nation Under Transition
This book examines language choice in contemporary Cambodia, and uses the case study to explore and evaluate competing explanations for the spread of English globally. Following the introduction, the multiple contexts in which Cambodians make individual and institutional language policy choices are considered. Chapters 2 and 3 examine the economic and political contexts for language choice, as Cambodia has transitioned from a planned economy and …

The Politics of Linking Educational Research, Policy, and Practice
This paper examines the political dimension of the educational research undertaken by Ghanian, Guatemalan, and Malian teams as part of the 1991 to 1996, USAID-funded "Improving Educational Quality" (IEQ) project. The following questions are addressed: (a) why were (or were not) aspects of the educational reforms studied by the researchers; (b) why were (or were not) research ndings used in decision-makingabout the educational policies and practic…
Cambodians and the Occupation
This article examines Cambodian responses to and perceptions of the Vietnamese occupation between 1979 and 1989. While some Cambodians resisted the occupation from refugee camps on the Thai border, many who remained in the country co-operated with the Vietnamese as functionaries in the People's Republic of Kampuchea. Based on interviews with Cambodians in government service during the occupation, this article illuminates the nuances of co-operati…

Building the New Cambodia
On 17 April 1975, the communist Khmer Rouge marched into Phnom Penh and established Democratic Kampuchea. Declaring an end to “over two thousand years of Cambodian history,” Khmer Rouge leader Pol Pot announced a new beginning, referred to metaphorically by scholars of the period as the “Year Zero.” The “new Cambodia” lasted exactly three years, eight months, and twenty days, during which time the people of Cambodia were subjected to a cataclysmi…
Beyond Mystification
Choices in conceptualizing classroom‐anchored research and linking it to policy/practice to improve educational quality in ‘developing’ countries
This paper discusses three scientific traditions (positivist, interpretivist and critical) as they inform methodological and strategic choices within a USAID‐funded ‘Improving Educational Quality’ project in Ghana, Guatemala and Mali. These scientific traditions are shown not only to frame choices in posing research questions and selecting data‐gathering and analysis strategies, but also to orient decisions about approaches for linking research t…

Sophistry, Security, and Socio-Political Structures in the American Revolution; or, Why Jamaica did not Rebel
Britain's most important American colonies did not rebel in 1776. Thirteen provinces did declare their independence; but no fewer than nineteen colonies in the western hemisphere remained loyal to the mother country. Massachusetts and Virginia may have led the American revolution, but they had never been the leading colonies of the British empire. From the imperial standpoint, the significance of any of the thirteen provinces which rebelled was p…
Theatrical Shakespearegresses at the Guthrie and Elsewhere
T HHIS ESSAY BEGAN as a response to a complex challenge issued in a call for papers on Shakespeare's plays that should investigate the subject of contemporary productions: do such non-traditional approaches-with Ariel as an androgynous punk, for example-enhance the characters, the text, the beauty, the point of the plays, or have some directors distorted the plays in making them more accessible to wider audiences?' The question is appropriately a…
The Duke of Newcastle, The Earl of Halifax, and the American Origins of the Seven Years' War
On the fourth of July 1754 a garrison of Virginians, under the command of the young George Washington, marched its British colours out of a small log fort in an isolated valley of the Appalachian mountains, where it had capitulated to a French detachment the previous evening. Washington's defeat had an impact upon world history no less significant than did his more famous victories subsequent to a more dramatic removal of British colours, on anot…
