Indonesias Role In The Resolution Of The Cambodian Problem

"This investigation into the Cambodian question provides an in-depth study and critical analysis of Indonesia's diplomatic involvement in the Cambodian peace process. It traces the Cambodian problem to Vietnam's military intervention and the consequent installation of the People's Republic of Kampuchea in 1979, as well as examining ASEAN's perception of a security threat and recognition of Indonesia's potential to play the 'interlocutor' thanks to its rapport with the Khmer factions. It also explores the international community's growing interest in solving the problem coupled with the Paris International Conference on Cambodia and Indonesia's perseverance in the resolution which resulted in Indonesia winning the title of an 'honest peace broker'. The text will prove invaluable for readers of international relations, politics and conflict studies, and would also benefit those following Southeast Asian studies."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
