Book written by 2005 Abe Fellow Harold R. Kerbo based on his project “Policies and Programs for Poverty Reduction in Thailand and Vietnam:
An Investigation of What Works and What Doesn’t and their Implications
for other Developing Countries.”

Since the tragedies of the “killing fields” and the reign of the
Khmer Rouge, the global community has largely ignored the social issues
plaguing Cambodia. Though the infamous killings have largely stopped,
poverty and corruption are rampant in contemporary Cambodia. This book
includes a short history of Cambodia and covers the systemic nature of
its poverty, and the contrasting economic success stories of Vietnam and
Laos. This book is particularly relevant to those interested in the
broader issue of eliminating world poverty.
