Patron-client networks within the Cambodian People's Party (CPP), the former Communist Party of Kampuchea that ruled Cambodia with Vietnamese military backing in the 1980s, were built in the 1980s and consolidated in the early 1990s. At the same time, many other Asian nations--Bhutan, Kampuchea, Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Central Asian countries--are lagging behind by far in this area. Cambodia was renamed Democratic Kampuchea and a four-year purge began in which the Khmer Rouge regime tried to eliminate all signs of the educated classes. |
