The Mekong River Under Threat
Until the 1980s the Mekong River flowed freely for 4,900 kilometres from its 5,100-metre high source in Tibet to the coast of Vietnam, where it finally poured into the South China Sea. The Mekong is the world's twelfth longest river, and the eighth or tenth largest, in terms of the 475 billion cubic metres of water it discharges annually. Then and now it passes through or by China, Burma (Myanmar), Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam. It is Sout…
Phnom Penh
Forever linked in the public mind with the Pol Pot tyranny, Phnom Penh only became Cambodia's permanent capital in 1866. Long neglected by Western travellers, in the sixteenth century it was home to Iberian missionaries and freebooters who briefly held Cambodia's fate in their hands. It faded in significance until France established a colonial protectorate over Cambodia in 1863. As the colonialists robbed the Cambodian king of his temporal power,…
Cambodia
The passage of 13 years since the first post-UNTAC (United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia) elections were held in Cambodia, in 1993, gives emphasis to the single most important feature of the country's domestic politics ? the definitive rise of Hun Sen to be Cambodia's most powerful leader. When (in December 2002), he boldly stated that he would like to rule as prime minister for a further ten years, his statement was taken by some ob…
The Water Politics of China and Southeast Asia
When the Worldwide Fund for Nature (WWF) released its list of the world's top ten rivers at risk in late March, attention in Australia naturally focused on the fact that the Murray-Darling River system was one of those listed. Very little attention was given in the Australian media to the other nine rivers so identified, which included the two longest rivers in the Southeast Asian region, the Mekong and the Salween. Both these rivers rise in the …
Cambodia
During a year in which Cambodia was afflicted by both a prolonged drought and subsequent costly floods, there is no question as to what was the dominant feature of the country's politics. Throughout 2002, Prime Minister Hun Sen continued to consolidate his position as the most powerful politician in the kingdom. He marginalized his opponents and not-so-subtly made clear that King Norodom Sihanouk, while welcome to play a ceremonial role, has no p…
Southeast Asia
"The first edition of Southeast Asia : an introductory history was published in 1979 and immediately filled a need for travellers and students interested in a tantalisingly different part of the world. Subsequent editions ... have continued to document with great perception the enormous changes and dramatic growth experienced in the region. Dr Milton Osborne has been a resident, student and fascinated observer of Southeast Asia for over 50 years.…

The Strategic Significance of the Mekong
Despite its size, the Mekong River has not played a unifying role as have other great rivers such as the Nile in Egypt or the Yangtze in China. Flowing by or through six countries (China, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam), the Mekong is nevertheless vital to Southeast Asia's ecology. However, efforts to make it a route for commercial navigation have been largely unsuccessful. Perhaps best known for the wars fought in its delta in the…

Peasant Politics in Cambodia
When, more than ten years ago, Professor Harry Benda urged Southeast Asian historians to consider the significance of peasant movements, he wrote with singular perspicacity. The attention that had been paid to the peasantry as a political force in the literature published up to the middle 1960s was limited. Nevertheless, on the basis of his own research into the Samin movement in Java and a shrewd estimation that much available evidence had been …

Continuity and Motivation in the Vietnamese Revolution
THROUGHOUT THE LONG AGONY of the Vietnam War few issues have been so bitterly debated as the legitimacy of the Vietnamese Communist Party. The question has often been argued in terms of nationalism and the Vietnamese Communists' right to be regarded as advocates and practitioners of that concept.1 At other times, the issue of legitimacy has been approached in terms of chronological judgment: at what point, it has been asked, did the Communists em…
Truong Vinh Ky and Phan Thanh Gian
Vietnamese historians in North and South Vietnam have, in writings since 1954, given considerable attention to the problem of reassessing and interpreting developments during the nineteenth century. For historians in Hanoi the test of Vietnamese nationalism has been whether or not an individual resisted the French. Saigon historians have not applied such a restrictive standard of judgement. The approach of the two schools of history is exemplifie…

Viet-Nam poses one of the most demanding moral, political and strategic dilemmas of the mid-twentieth century. Concern over the multiple implications of developments in this Southeast Asian country is manifest throughout the world. But it is, of course, in the United States that debate is the loudest and the positions which are assumed in public discussion the most starkly delineated. The spate of books about VietNam, of which those reviewed in t…

The world of Southeast Asian scholarship has suffered an immeasurable loss with the death in October 1969 of Professor George Coedès, the undisputed doyen of those who have studied the early history of the region. In a lifetime of scholarly activity, beginning with the publication of his first article on the early history of Cambodia in 1904, Professor Coedès prepared a rich heritage for those who seek to understand the intricacies of the history…

King-making in Cambodia
The question of exactly why Prince Norodom Sihanouk was placed on the Cambodian throne in 1941 has long been a matter of interest to observers of Khmer affairs. A range of explanations has been offered, with varying emphases and some contradictions. Following Prince Sihanouk's deposition in March 1970 the question has, once again, been discussed in some detail with the Prince, himself, providing new commentary on the events of 1941.1 Archives rec…
