The new world order transition in the Third World: implications for the nation-state
Article Abstract:
The impact of the global transition to the new world order is affecting Third World countries. The rise of subnational and regional forces threatens the territorial boundaries of the nation-states, while the absence of supranational economic integration threatens their developments in the post-cold war period. Ethno-religious conflicts force them to accept the leadership of the US and its intervention in their crises. The end of cold war has opened the markets of Eastern Europe to Western economies that adversely affects the interests of Third World, as they lose the export markets to Western powers.

Cambodia in 1997: back to square one?
Article Abstract:
Internal political tensions continued to separate the people and state of Cambodia in 1997 in spite of favorable socioeconomic conditions and foreign relations. Cambodia's two Prime Ministers, the royalist party Funcinpec's Pres Prince Norodom Ranariddh and Cambodian People's Party's Vice-Pres Hun Sen, engaged in armed clashes since 1996 which continued until 1997. On the other hand, foreign donors did not refrain from granting aid in spite of the coup. Their uninvolvement in Mongolia's upheaval prevented any civil-war from occurring.

Cambodia in 1994: the year of transition
Article Abstract:
The year 1994 was a year of transition for Cambodia, with the emergence of a coalition government that struggled with strife within and between the royalist FUNCINPEC and the Cambodian People's Party. The survival of this tenuous government rests on the personal relationship of the two co-prime ministers. While the new government instituted a number of measures to beef up the economy, these still failed to offset Cambodia's inadequate and outdated infrastructure which continues to stymie economic growth.
