Most
Cambodians consider themselves to be Khmers, descendants
of the Angkor Empire that extended over much of Southeast
Asia and reached its zenith between the 10th and 13th
centuries. Attacks by the Thai and Cham (from present-day
Vietnam) weakened the empire, ushering in a long period
of decline. The king placed the country under French protection
in 1863 and it became part of French Indochina in 1887.
Following Japanese occupation in World War II, Cambodia
gained full independence from France in 1953. In April
1975, after a five-year struggle, Communist Khmer Rouge
forces captured Phnom Penh and evacuated all cities and
towns. At least 1.5 million Cambodians died from execution,
forced hardships, or starvation during the Khmer Rouge
regime under POL POT. A December 1978 Vietnamese invasion
drove the Khmer Rouge into the countryside, began a 10-year
Vietnamese occupation, and touched off almost 13 years
of civil war. The 1991 Paris Peace Accords mandated democratic
elections and a ceasefire, which was not fully respected
by the Khmer Rouge. UN-sponsored elections in 1993 helped
restore some semblance of normalcy under a coalition government.
Factional fighting in 1997 ended the first coalition government,
but a second round of national elections in 1998 led to
the formation of another coalition government and renewed
political stability. The remaining elements of the Khmer
Rouge surrendered in early 1999. Some of the surviving
Khmer Rouge leaders are awaiting trial by a UN-sponsored
tribunal for crimes against humanity. Elections in July
2003 were relatively peaceful, but it took one year of
negotiations between contending political parties before
a coalition government was formed. In October 2004, King
Norodom SIHANOUK abdicated the throne and his son, Prince
Norodom SIHAMONI, was selected to succeed him. Local elections
were held in Cambodia in April 2007, and there was little
in the way of pre-election violence that preceded prior
elections. National elections in July 2008 were relatively
peaceful.

From
2004 to 2008, the economy grew about 10% per year, driven
largely by an expansion in the garment sector, construction,
agriculture, and tourism. With the January 2005 expiration
of a WTO Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, Cambodian
textile producers were forced to compete directly with
lower-priced countries such as China, India, Vietnam,
and Bangladesh. The garment industry currently employs
more than 320,000 people and contributes more than 85%
of Cambodia's exports. In 2005, exploitable oil and natural
gas deposits were found beneath Cambodia's territorial
waters, representing a new revenue stream for the government
if commercial extraction begins. Mining also is attracting
significant investor interest, particularly in the northern
parts of the country, and the government has said opportunities
exist for mining bauxite, gold, iron and gems. In 2006,
a US-Cambodia bilateral Trade and Investment Framework
Agreement (TIFA) was signed and several rounds of discussions
have been held since 2007. The tourism industry has continued
to grow rapidly, with foreign arrivals exceeding 2 million
per year in 2007-08, however, economic troubles abroad
will dampen growth in 2009. Rubber exports declined more
than 15% in 2008 due to falling world market prices. The
global financial crisis is weakening demand for Cambodian
exports, and construction is declining due to a shortage
of credit. The long-term development of the economy remains
a daunting challenge. The Cambodian government is working
with bilateral and multilateral donors, including the
World Bank and IMF, to address the country's many pressing
needs. The major economic challenge for Cambodia over
the next decade will be fashioning an economic environment
in which the private sector can create enough jobs to
handle Cambodia's demographic imbalance. More than 50%
of the population is less than 21 years old. The population
lacks education and productive skills, particularly in
the poverty-ridden countryside, which suffers from an
almost total lack of basic infrastructure.
