without accountability characterises

If attained, development-driven reforms can give Cambodia a capable state and even a relatively functioning and predictable legal system, both conducive to business competitiveness. But it would not necessarily foster democratic accountability. This configuration of a relatively effective state without accountability characterises some moderately developed authoritarian states like Vietnam. Relative to a failed state or a dysfunctional democracy, this outcome could be more desirable for many. The CPP leadership viewed the Western-imposed democratic transition in the early 1990s as inevitable due to extreme aid dependency at that time. But if future political liberalisation occurs, it will likely happen on Cambodia’s own terms, meaning the CPP would decide when and how to liberalise. สล็อต เว็บตรง
