Cambodia: Cultural Heritage Management

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Entry for encyclopedia/dictionary › peer-review

Abstract

Cambodia, in terms of cultural heritage, is one of the worlds wealthiest countries, but the kingdoms economic poverty places this marvelous heritage in constant peril. Since the cessation of hostilities in the late 1990s, much effort has been expended in protecting Cambodian heritage sites with governmental agencies including the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, the APSARA Authority, and intergovernmental organizations such as UNESCO working to safeguard sites around the country. More recently, nongovernmental organizations, such as Heritage Watch, have been founded to highlight the threat to prehistoric heritage in Cambodia. This entry briefly examines the efforts of these varied organizations and the changing threats to Cambodias heritage.
