Cambodia 2040 Economic Development
Cambodia has experienced drastic changes since the signing of the Paris Peace Accords in 1991. Twenty-five years later, Cambodia is a lower middle-income country with consistently high GDP growth rates and concomitant improvements in human security as measured by the Human Development Index (HDI). The question that Cambodia confronts today is a seemingly simple one, but which is in fact remarkably complex: Whither Cambodia? From energy to industrialization to agriculture, how are the diverse sectors of Cambodian society and the Cambodian economy likely to develop over the next two decades?

E-Governance in Cambodia
The digital economy is already impacting the Kingdom of Cambodia in a variety of ways. New business models, new sectors and new capabilities have developed over the last two decades. And even if not all Cambodians are digital natives, many are at least Facebook and smartphone natives with a mobile subscription rate of 117% and more than 9 million Facebook users. However, Cambodia is still at the beginning of developing a comprehensive approach to deal with challenges related to the mega trend digitalization. One of these challenges is the government adaption of ICTs and the digital transformation towards a more sustainable, open and inclusive government. That does not happen by itself as digital transformation is a human pioneered and empowered process. Fundamental changes regarding the way we cooperate and communicate, organize government services, lead staff, develop existing skills and give new ones to officials, set priorities and strategies as well as create a new cultural mindset are paramount factors in that transformation. Ultimately, it is about cultivating new connections, encouraging exploration, enabling potential and championing the shift. This publication brought together authors from all walks of life in order to explore and mature thoughts, ideas and knowledge about decisive e-government topics, which include cyber security, the role of data and trust, Facebook and service provision tailored to citizens and business needs. The great insight and conclusion is that significantly more research has to be done in order to provide scientific and thoroughly thought through ideas to key stakeholders of the government´s digital journey, which involves the citizens, society and even culture more than some might think. All contributors to this publication demonstrate that e-government can have an impact in many ways. It is also evident that when the Royal Government wants to materialize its vision of becoming a digital society and high income country by 2050, the development of the digital government has to go hand in hand with the development of digital infrastructure, digital business, digital capabilities and digital trustworthiness. We hope this publication will get you involved in the topic and encourage you to not just read, but also to provide us with critical feedback and ideas in order to grow the research community! Have a good read and keep on learning, exploring and sharing!
