Konrad-Adenauer-Stifting

Freedom, justice and solidarity are the basic principles underlying the work of the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung (KAS). The KAS is a political foundation, closely associated with the Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU). As co-founder of the CDU and the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, Konrad Adenauer (1876-1967) united Christian-social, conservative and liberal traditions. His name is synonymous with the democratic reconstruction of Germany, the firm alignment of foreign policy with the trans-Atlantic community of values, the vision of a unified Europe and an orientation towards the social market economy. His intellectual heritage continues to serve both as our aim as well as our obligation today. In our European and international cooperation efforts, we work for people to be able to live self-determined lives in freedom and dignity. We make a contribution underpinned by values to helping Germany meet its growing responsibilities throughout the world. KAS has been working in Cambodia since 1994, striving to support the Cambodian people in fostering dialogue, building networks and enhancing scientific projects. Thereby, the foundation works towards creating an environment conducive to social and economic devel- opment. All programs are conceived and implemented in close cooperation with the Cambodian partners on central and subnational level.

Cambodian Institute for Cooperation and Peace

The Cambodian Institute for Cooperation and Peace, established in 1993, is Cambodia’s oldest foreign policy think tank and Cambodia’s leading platform for track 2 foreign affairs dialogue. The Institute strives to stimulate viable, policy-based research to address a range of challenges and to promote balanced debate on the important issues that matter most for the country and the region. Over the course of nearly 30 years, CICP has engaged with analysts, scholars, and diplomats from across the globe to examine the geopo- litical, security, social and economic questions that impact both Cambodia as well as Southeast Asia as a whole. On this site, you can explore the wide ranging activities that the Institute undertakes, including the outcome reports from many of those events as well as our two flagship publications: The Journal of Greater Mekong Studies and Diplomatic Briefing. We are immensely proud of our track record as a research institution as well as our continued position as the only foreign affairs think tank in the kingdom ranked three years in a row, since 2018, at the 32nd spot out of over 100 Top Think Tanks in Southeast Asia and the Pacific by the University of Pennsylvania’s Global Think Tank Index. As an institution, CICP is grounded in three simple terms: Objective, Neutral, and Independent. We engage without bias and seek to motivate stronger policy-oriented academic research in the kingdom and actively partner with a diversity of actors in order to strengthen research capacity in the kingdom and to support Cambodia’s own security, development, and sovereignty as well as regional integration.
