Abstract

The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) has played a vital role in Cambodia’s economic, political, and social cooperation with its ASEAN member states. Cambodian Generation Z is a dynamic group building a future for Cambodia. This article assesses the level of knowledge about ASEAN integration among Generation Z in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, using a mixed-methods approach with a survey of 414 respondents and 8 key informant interviews. The findings reveal that while Generation Z in Phnom Penh demonstrates some awareness of ASEAN, their overall knowledge remains limited, with notable strengths in cultural awareness and digital engagement but significant gaps in political and economic understanding. Future research should explore factors contributing to knowledge gaps and the impact of digital platforms on awareness. It should also conduct comparative studies across ASEAN countries to understand generational knowledge disparities better.

Abstract

This article investigates the structural paradox characterizing Cambodia-U.S. relations in the post-Cold War period, in which the persistence of political and security friction coexists with functional cooperation. The study identifies policy areas in which China’s emergence as an unconditional patron creates tension with the U.S., and analyzes mechanisms through which Chinese support enables Cambodia to evade U.S. normative pressure on democracy and human rights. Using an analytic eclecticism approach that combines structural realism and liberal institutionalism, the study conducts a qualitative content analysis of semi-structured interviews with 13 elite informants, including Cambodian government officials, U.S. diplomats, and analysts. The findings demonstrate that China’s multidimensional assistance (economic, military, and diplomatic) has significantly undermined Western normative leverage, forcing Cambodia to pursue a dual-track strategy that focuses conflict in the high-politics domain (security, governance) and maintains cooperation in the low-politics domain (trade, development assistance, public health). This pattern generates a state of managed contradiction, which compartmentalizes the coexistence of political hostility and functional cooperation without progressing towards normative convergence or bilateral breakdown. The study makes an empirical contribution by tracing how patron diversification reshapes small-state agencies and by showing that alternative patronage enables states to resist normative pressure while preserving selective cooperation in an era of great-power competition.
