Gordon Conochie

Join us to hear from Gordon Conochie, Gordon is an adjunct research fellow at La Trobe University and author of the new book, A Tiger Rules the Mountain: Cambodia’s Pursuit of Democracy.

‘Gordon Conochie has written an incisive personal account of the past decade of Cambodian politics, detailing Prime Minister Hun Sen’s ruthless consolidation of power and the closing-over of the country’s few remaining glades of freedom. Rich with the voices of ordinary people and keenly attuned to the country’s cultural and social dynamics, A Tiger Rules the Mountain is vital reading for anyone wanting to understand where Cambodia has come from, and where it might be going.’

Sebastian Strangio, journalist and author of Cambodia: From Pol Pot to Hun Sen and Beyond
