Country for sale: How Cambodia's elite has captured the country's extractive industries

Cambodia today is a country for sale. After logging much of the country’s forest resources, Cambodia’s elite have diversified their commercial interests to encompass other forms of state assets: land, fisheries, tropical islands and beaches, minerals and petroleum. This report is based on investigations carried out by Global Witness in 2008 and looks at one part of this wider phenomenon – the emerging oil, gas and mineral sectors. It makes the case for greater efforts by the Cambodian government and the country’s international donors to strengthen the governance of these resources.
