Abstract

Abstract This article explains the political significance of the Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia, the quasi-youth wing of the ruling Cambodian People's Party in Cambodia. I argue that pro-regime events organized by the youth wing are a form of state mobilization designed to help the ruling party pre-empt the threat posed by the country's growing youth population. In doing so, the youth wing draws upon the monarchy, culture, and nationalism to regenerate the ruling party's legitimacy claims to make them more appealing to the target group. The article contributes to our knowledge of how authoritarian regimes mobilize citizens to maintain power.
威权政权中的国家动员:柬埔寨的青年政治与政权合法化
本文阐述了柬埔寨执政党柬埔寨人民党(Cambodian People’s Party)的准青年组织——柬埔寨青年联合会联盟(Union of Youth Federations of Cambodia)的政治意义。我认为,由青年组织的亲政权活动是一种国家动员形式,旨在帮助执政党先发制人,以应对该国不断增长的青年人口所构成的威胁。在这样做的过程中,青年派利用君主制、文化和民族主义来恢复执政党的合法性,使他们对目标群体更具吸引力。这篇文章有助于我们了解专制政权如何动员公民来维持权力。
