An article in Cambodianess, a relatively new English language daily in Cambodia (part of the Khmer paper called ThmeyThmey), focused on bribery and Covid-19 featured an extended interview with me about my new book, Cambodia for Sale. Here’s a quote from the piece, but I recommend reading the full article:

Again, Brehm reiterated that the line between bribery and community support blurs, but that one explanation for the prevalence of such informal payments could be Cambodia’s history. While neoliberalism became the consensus for the US and other Western governments providing official development aid, Cambodia was just emerging from conflict.

My book comes out March 30, 2021. Stay tuned for more information about the book launch.
