In commemorating 25th anniversary of Cambodia’s membership in ASEAN, this CCRS book examines the quarter-century process through which the Kingdom of Cambodia has reintegrated itself in the region, looking at the historical context and process leading to full ASEAN membership, assessing Cambodian Chairmanship three times from 1999 to 2024, and discussing Cambodia’s contributions to ASEAN institutionalization and how ASEAN has contributed to Cambodia’s nation-building process. The book also examines Cambodia’s strategic position with regard to the US, China, the EU, Japan, South Korea, Lao PDR, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as challenging geostrategic issues faced by Cambodia when engaging ASEAN during the span of the past 25 years.
