カンボジア農村におけるベトナム人と地方行政の関わり : 「不当な」料金徴収とその影響をめぐって

Abstract

This paper is a preliminary report about the relationship between ethnic Vietnamese and local authorities. In Cambodia, ethnic Vietnamese are treated as foreigners even when they have lived in Cambodia for several generations. Their uncertain status in Cambodia puts them in a vulnerable position. There are many taxes that Vietnamese have to pay to local authorities, such as levies on fishing and on house building. Most of the levies are illegal and seen by many as discriminatory, and create hardship in Vietnamese daily life. Based on fieldwork conducted in a village, this paper deals with the impact of uneven treatment against Vietnamese as arbitrarily practiced by local authorities.
