Commenting on my research plan: Cambodia’s foreign policy in the cold war and its impact on national security

Dear all seniors, researchers, and friends.

Currently, I am doing a research paper to fulfil my B.A degree in International Studies, IFL, Cambodia. Here is my research plan. I hope you all can comment on it. Thank very much.

Third draft
• Research Topic: Cambodia’s foreign policy in the cold war and its impact on national security
• Research Problem: what were the political behaviors of Cambodia toward superpowers and its impacts on Cambodian national security?
• Research Questions:
I am going to dissect the years 1953- 1989 into different periods based on the political regimes, specifically 1953-1970, 1970-75, 1975-79, and 1979-89. For each period, I am going to ask:
1. What was the foreign policy of Cambodia toward superpower?
2. Why did Cambodia pursue such a policy?
3. What were the impacts of such policy on Cambodian national security?

I do need your comments on my thirdly revised one.
