Phnom Penh-The turnaround of state-owned Phnom Penh Water Supply Authority over the last two decades is now legend in Cambodia. Director General Ek Sonn Chan took the company's reins after the country had suffered decades of civil war. United Nationsbacked elections had been held and international money was starting to flood the country, but the damage was done.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article assimilates the city of Phnom Penh into an open system that has spread into the Mekong River flood plain with the backfilling of tidelands and the building of successive dykes. The city's hydraulic networks were damaged by the major crisis suffered under the Khmer Rouge characterized by a strong de-urbanization process. Since 1979, the progressive restoration of institutions, in addition to ad hoc interventions in the city's networks by 'pioneer actors', allowed vertical interactions in the city-system between stakeholders and structures to redevelop, and also permitted horizontal interactions between structures. Despite more recent crises, the city-system has proved resilient and it maintains its dualistic kernel-margins structure.

| Summary/Abstract |
Phnom Penh-The 328 acres known as Boeung Kak Lake still appear on maps of Cambodia's capital as a large blue patch, though its waters are now only a memory. Pumped full of sand, the area is being readied for a promised development that has already displaced some 4,000 families. Looming over the puddles and dirt, two massive billboards display portraits of the high-end residential and commercial wonderland intended for the plot.

| Summary/Abstract |
During the 1980s, refugee camps along the Thai–Cambodian border constituted the power base for the civil war parties opposing the People's Republic of Kampuchea (PRK, 1979–91). Politics of accommodation and basic services also played a key role in the 'original accumulation' of political power by the new regime in Phnom Penh. The resettlement process of Cambodia's deserted cities developed into a major playground for clientelism, the foundation of Cambodia's state-building process after the Khmer Rouge. Focusing on the archival heritage of the United Nations Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) 1992–93, a spatial analysis of Phnom Penh's political geography from the late 1970s to the late 1990s will be provided. This paper argues that the UNTAC time marked a watershed, whose impact has been underrated for Cambodia's political future: the transition in the accommodation policy of a besieged regime. UNTAC did not end the civil war, but changed the political economy of the country. As the need to 'camp-in' and share billeted living space gradually diminished, the socialist 'moral economy' mutated into quick money politics and political family business to ensure the hegemonic status of Cambodia's ruling party further.
