How does an authoritarian regime suppress dissent whilst leveraging civil society for its own ends? This study examines Cambodia's transformation from the 1990s to today, revealing the state's strategy of 'flexible coerciveness'-a dual approach of restricting political space while co-opting civil society organizations for governance gains.
