Index stresses risk of violence
The ruling Cambodian People’s Party’s (CPP) popularity will continue to wane, and change is on the horizon for Cambodia, although that change could be violent, according to the Bertelsmann Transformation Index (BTI) 2016 report.
The BTI has been published every two years since 2006, monitoring countries’ progress towards democracy. At 3.7 out of 10 this year, Cambodia’s “democracy status” is the lowest it has been in the history of the BTI.
