Socio-political violence in Cambodia between 1990 and 2008: An explanatory mixed methods study of social coherence
Fergusson, Lee C.; Cavanaugh, Kenneth L. (2019). Socio-political violence in Cambodia between 1990 and 2008: An explanatory mixed methods study of social coherence. Studies in Asian Social Science, 6(2), 1–45.
Mixed-methods historical study combined news-coded time series with document analysis, comparing a 1990–1992 baseline with 1993–2008 after group practice began at MVU. Coincident political changes and reporting variation complicate causal attribution.
