Summary
This chapter examines how aid workers who arrived in Cambodia to manage the refugee camps after the genocide ended up becoming more deeply involved in the politcs of peace negotations and postconflict reconstruction, which led them into development and into a supporting position vis-à-vis Hun Sen, the new leader of Cambodia who had been accused of genocide.
