Cambodia: Place, People and Politics; Environmental, Economic, Cultural, Political, and Regional History since Earliest Times

了解该地区和世界对保护澳大利亚至关重要。澳中关系对澳大利亚在东南亚和全球的外交政策都很重要。澳大利亚的大量柬埔寨社区仍然对本国的事态发展非常感兴趣。该项目将提高澳大利亚在柬埔寨的形象，促进柬埔寨-澳大利亚人的区域研究，并吸引来自柬埔寨和其他国家的顶尖学生和博士后研究员。柬埔寨独特的生态条件，其人民悠久而重要的历史记录及其在该地区的作用，将导致该项目对澳大利亚，区域和全球东南亚研究产生重大影响。

Understanding the region and the world is vital to safeguarding Australia. Cambodian-Australian relations are important to Australia's foreign policy, both in Southeast Asia and globally. Australia's substantial Cambodian communities remain very interested in developments in their home country. This project will heighten Australia's profile in Cambodia, stimulate regional research among Khmer-Australians, and attract top students and Post-Doctoral Fellows from Cambodia and other countries. Cambodia's specific ecological conditions and the long and important documented history of its people and their role in the region, will result in this project having a significant impact on Australian, regional and global study of Southeast Asia.
