Violence and the civilising process in Cambodia

Broadhurst, Roderic G., author, Bouhours, Thierry, author, Bouhours, Brigitte, author

Overview

\"in this insightful new study tracing the history of violence in Cambodia, the authors evaluate the extent to which Elias's theories can be applied in a non-western context. Drawing from historical and contemporary archival sources, constabulary statistics, victim surveys and newspaper reports, Broadhurst, Bouhours and Bouhours chart trends and forms of violence throughout Cambodia from the mid nineteenth century through the present day. Analyzing periods of colonization, anti-colonial wars, interdependence, civil war, the revolutionary terror of the 1970s and post-conflict development, the authors assess whether violence has decreased and whether such a decline can be attributed to Elias's civilizing process, identifying a series of universal factors that have historically reduced violence.\" -- Published description.
