Through an examination of policy discourse, expertise and social networks, this project analyzes how three NGOs are respectively able to claim authority over a group of debt-bonded, female, Vietnamese sex workers in Cambodia. The discourses define the sex workers alternately as victims, as workers and as biomedical subjects, according to the expertise of the particular NGO. I argue that none of the NGOs incorporates an approach that takes into account the political economic conditions that make the commercial sex industry a viable labor market for poor women and girls. In the dissertation I frame the historical events in Cambodia as creating the conditions where the commercial sex industry can take root: specifically, French colonization, the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge, the Cold War polities, in which Cambodia was entangled; and the period of occupation by the United Nations. I also link the Vietnamese economic liberalization to the migration of young women to Cambodia for work in the commercial sex industry. I examine how the economic policies negatively affect women, in terms of power within the household, and access to land and credit.
