The document discusses US economic and trade relations with ASEAN countries. Some key points:
- The US exports over $100 billion in goods and services to ASEAN annually, making ASEAN an important export market. Major US export states to ASEAN include California, Texas, and New York.
- Major US companies conducting business in ASEAN include GE, Chevron, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, and others across key sectors like energy, technology, agriculture, and healthcare.
- The US imports goods from ASEAN as well, with a trade deficit that has been growing in recent years. However, the US maintains a competitive edge in certain industries.
This document discusses the benefits of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) for American businesses and exports. It outlines key objectives such as eliminating tariffs to increase market access for American goods in TPP countries. The TPP would boost exports of American agricultural products, manufactured goods, and automotive parts by removing barriers. It also aims to open up government procurement contracts which represent 5-10% of economies. Specific sectors that would benefit include automobiles, agriculture, and poultry exports to countries like Vietnam, Japan, and Malaysia. Overall, the TPP seeks to increase American competitiveness through $1.8 trillion in existing trade and an estimated $124 billion in additional exports annually.
ASEAN was established in 1967 by five Southeast Asian countries to promote economic, social, and cultural development in the region. It has since expanded to include 10 member countries and has established dialogue partnerships with 10 other nations. ASEAN aims to safeguard regional stability and serve as a forum for resolving intra-regional issues. Over the years, ASEAN has helped foster peace and prosperity in Southeast Asia through regional cooperation. It is now the fourth largest trading bloc globally and continues working towards greater integration among its member states.
This document discusses the evolution of Cambodia's court system under French colonial rule from the late 19th century to the early 20th century. It shows how the French gradually removed the Cambodian king's judicial powers and restructured the court hierarchy to separate judicial functions from executive/administrative ones. However, the French still sought to maintain control over the Cambodian courts. Key events discussed include revisions to the court system in 1897, 1911 legal codes based on French law, and trials in 1916 that tested the new provincial courts.

Sihanouk abdicated as King of Cambodia in 1955 and created the Sangkum party to consolidate his power. He held a referendum asking if his people were satisfied with his leadership, getting over 99% approval. However, this was seen as a sham to sideline political opponents. Sihanouk then proposed constitutional reforms concentrating power in himself, but faced resistance. In an unexpected move, he abruptly abdicated and launched the Sangkum party, becoming its Supreme Counselor, allowing him to remain the dominant political figure while avoiding the constraints of kingship. The Sangkum was presented as non-partisan but ensured Sihanouk's control over Cambodian politics.

France colonized Cambodia from the 1860s to 1953. While France modernized Cambodia's infrastructure and education system, the colonial domination also negatively impacted Cambodian culture and sovereignty. Overall, France's colonization of Cambodia resulted in both benefits and harms for the country's development.

The document summarizes an upcoming lecture on "Economic Globalization and the Economic Challenges Facing Cambodia". It discusses 3 tectonic shifts in economic globalization: 1) the rise of the West since the 15th century, 2) the rise of the US in the late 19th century, and 3) the rise of China and others since the 1980s. It also outlines Cambodia's growing economy and its integration into regional economic communities like ASEAN and RCEP. While poverty has declined, Cambodia must continue shifting its workforce from agriculture to manufacturing, construction, and services to further reduce poverty.
