This paper analyzes the political democratization in Cambodia, focusing on domestic and internationall aspects. In Cambodia, domestically, democratization denotes a system of government since 1993 that meets conditions of competition, political participation, and civil and political liberties among the various factions including King Sihanouk, Hun Sen, Khmer Rouge and other nationalist groups. Democratization in Cambodia, however, exists in an environment that contains other countries. By their action ns foreign countries have massively affected the chances for Cambodian democracy: the United States, France, China, Russia, Japan, Vietnam. In a nation with turbulent past so new to the democratic experience and so lacking in basic institute ional development and human resources, the road to full democratic develop ment will be a long one.
