“…The ruling party's surprisingly poor performance left observers wondering whether the party's legitimacy claims would continue to strike a chord with the younger population (see, e.g., Strangio 2014, 259; Eng and Hughes 2017; Un 2019, 46).

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.

This study uses documentary research methods to thoroughly examine how the Cambodian court has changed over time, the problems it faces now, and the possible solutions that have been suggested. The study tells the story of Cambodia's court system from colonization to today, focusing on important events and ongoing problems. It uses rules, laws, old records, government reports, and survey numbers. According to structured research, the piece gives information about things that have been done, like setting up courts nationwide and settling criminal cases. The piece also discusses problems like insufficient people to work as judges, inadequate infrastructure, and no rules governing specific judicial jobs. This part of the research approach explains the video analysis strategy used in this study. This makes the research process more open and rigorous.
