碩士 === 國立成功大學 === 政治經濟學研究所 === 91 === Because of longtime civil war, in reality, and too much emphases on international Cambodia study, in research, there was not paid much attention on the research of the regime changes, with an integrating views of politics and economics. Based upon this reason, this thesis adopts the historical-structure approach to examine entire development of Cambodia’s economic structure with both political and economic system transitions, and in turn, to analyze how they affect the later development of Cambodia’s industrial structure. Through discussing the six periods of regime transition on Cambodia’s polity and economy, this thesis also deals with the interaction among political regime, economic system, and industrial environment. Also, in theory, the experience of Cambodia’s development transition is used to compare and examine with several development theories. Most important, the research result not only represents the clear-cut lineament of Cambodia’s state development experience in past decades, but also offers a theory-based conclusion. In conclusion, the major factor for Cambodia still staying in the situation of less development without proper industrialization is its drastical political change. Both political clashes and military conflicts have raised seriously damage and blight on economic infrastructure and production resource. These obstacles have caught Cambodia in the vicious cycle of industrial development. This lesson shall be remembered.
