Implication
Research demonstrates early warning systems improve resilience in Cambodia’s macroeconomic sectors, indicating urgent needs in border security.
Key Points
- To create a framework for identifying systemic vulnerabilities in Cambodia based on cross-sector dependencies.
- Developed a Dependency Network–Knowledge Graph (DN-KG) framework for intelligence research.
- Abstracted critical sectors like macroeconomic, fuel supply, and border security into node sets.
- Utilised OSINT data to establish a node-edge inventory and cascade mechanism model.
- Identified critical vulnerabilities arising from cascading structural dependencies.
- Found that resilience-building should focus on critical dependency edges rather than isolated sectoral improvements.
- Proposed an economic action portfolio for Thailand to mitigate conflict spillover risks.
