The higher education and its research in Cambodia was developed not only recent, but also uneven.
The first modern university was established only in 1960 and expanded briefly before it was interrupted by the first civil war (1970-1975) and was shuttered by the Khmer Rouge regime (1975-1979).
It then remained underdeveloped during the second civil war (1979-1991).
Only fairly recently has higher education and its research become an important pillar of Cambodian development strategy under the influence of the logical correlation between innovative knowledge of higher education and its research and the construction of a knowledge-based economy and society.
In this seminar, I will explore the development of higher education and its research in Cambodia after the end of civil war in early 1990s, focusing on how that affects the indicator of innovative knowledge and development in term of what for and for whom.
