This annual report takes a comparative approach in asking, what changed in comparison to previous years? Did the political system of Cambodia progress toward a consolidated democracy or is stagnation or even a regression observable, which put the democratization process into question? The assessment of the democratization process is based on the findings of the COMFREL Monitoring Units ‘Government Watch’, ‘Parliamentary Watch’, ‘Media Watch’, ‘Election Watch’, and ‘Gender Watch’. Beside primary observations, secondary sources of different national and international stakeholders and media have been included in the report to ensure a comprehensive assessment of the democratization process in 2011.
