In a world where there are few women politicians, Cambodia is still noticeable as a country where strong cultural and societal forces act to subjugate women and limit their political opportunities. However, in their everyday life, Cambodian women do try to improve their situation and increase their political power, not least via manifold strategies of resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book focuses on Cambodian female politicians and the strategies they deploy in their attempts to destabilize the cultural boundaries and hierarchies that restrain them. In particular, the book focuses on how women use discourses and identities as means of resistance, a concept only recently of wide interest among scholars studying power.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe value of this book is thus twofold: not only does it give a unique insight into the political struggles of Cambodian women but also offers new insights to studies of power.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction; Hybrid Liberal Democracy in a Cambodian Context; The Look of Discursive Disciplinary Power; Education and Normalizing as Strategies of Resistance; The Strategy of Establishing New Truths; Women's Identities as Means of Resistance; De-naturalizing as Resistance; Globalization, Women's Political Participation and the Politics of Resistance; Concluding Reflections; References; Index","brand":"NIAS Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51047022920023,"sku":"9788776940201","price":999.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9788776940201.jpg?v=1750969948","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/power-resistance-and-women-politicians-in-cambodia-discourses-of-emancipation-9788776940201","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
