Description :
This paper examines everyday interactions of money, power, and security in Cambodia’s capital city of Phnom Penh, informed by a series of transects and interviews. It shows that the sale and enclosure of Cambodian land and property have yielded both profit and tensions. These are connected with the meanings and operation of security. The most powerful ‘security’ agency in Phnom Penh is neither wholly ‘public’ nor fully ‘private’, but hybrid; where public police and military personnnel and their equipment are purchased. We argue that this is symptomatic of circulation/operation of state/capital in Cambodia.
