Abstract EN:
The main purpose of this work is to show the links between political geography and changes of cambodia. The study starts with a description of historical background which initiated the changes. Then, an analyse of the processes which generated the structural breaks which took place in the early 70's in the traditional wy of life is carried out. Accordind to this analyse, those years of political and military instability are a major cause in the bankruptcy of the country nowaday. An attempt has been made to show how strong are the effects of ideologie and political geography on land and water management in cambodia. The study ends with an analyse of current trends of the new political situation which took place in september 1989 after the so-called withdrawal of vietnamese occupation troops.
