Cambodia is best characterized as having a government that is Democratic in some form but Authoritarian in practice. While it holds regular elections and has a constitution that outlines democratic principles, the ruling party has maintained significant control over political power, limiting opposition and suppressing dissent. The Cambodian People's Party (CPP), led by Prime Minister Hun Sen, has dominated the political landscape for decades, leading to concerns about the suppression of political freedoms and human rights.
