Conflits au Cambodge

Colonisation agricole, adaptation et conflits sur les hautes-terres du Cambodge

Depuis le milieu des années 2000, le Nord-Est du Cambodge connaît une transition agraire radicale impulsée par un processus de colonisation agricole. Celle-ci s’est opérée au détriment des populations autochtones, qui doivent conséquemment réorganiser leurs activités productives. Cette transition a été marquée également par des conflits, mais ceux-ci demeurent marginaux.
