Aid and Social Movement in Cambodia (original) (raw)

Abstract

International advocacy networks (TANs) has increasingly influenced local and international organizations’ work in the era of globalization. This paper examines how TANs driven Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) mobilize against the sugar industry in Cambodia. To evade domestic suppression, CSOs escalated to International Supply Chains Movement Approach (ISCMA). Influenced by TANs, ISCMA is initiated by CSOs to particularly influence international stakeholders in each stage of sugar supply chains to leverage pressure directly on the sugar producer companies, and indirectly on the government of Cambodia. ISCMA did influence the sugar companies and the government to address some but not all demands of CSOs. This was due in part to the political nexus between the government and the sugar companies. This paper suggests that–to ensure success of TANs in international supply chains in the era of globalization–one should take local political ties between the government and business into account.
