Is Cambodia's Hun Sen's dictatorship somehow unique?
from The Global Agora · host Andrej Matisak
Lee Morgenbesser is an Associate Professor in Comparative Politics at the School of Government and International Relations at Griffith University. His most recent book is titled The Rise of Sophisticated Authoritarianism in Southeast Asia, so he is a perfect match for the next episode of my podcast. We discussed how Prime Minister Hun Sen took over Cambodia and if his reign is somehow unique if we compare Hun Sen to other authoritarian rulers. The July election showed that Hun Sen is running the country seemingly unopposed. But can people in Cambodia still resist his rule? Listen to our conversation. And if you enjoy what I do, please support me on Ko-fi! Thank you. https://ko-fi.com/amatisak
