This chapter investigates the struggles for communal land recognition and examines the detrimental effects of the land titling reform on collective mobilization. It confirms how both private and communal land titles as tools for land rights advocacy in Cambodia are limited and illustrates the power to define interventions that are in the hands of state actors whose own interests often run counter to the demands of rural communities. It also delves into how struggles for communal land in Khang Cheung and Khang Leit have evolved and how the Order 01 land reform shaped these struggles. The chapter discusses the connected points in the story of Ming Tam, Head of non-governmental organization (NGO) Green Cambodia, about the tensions inherent to social movements organized by and with NGOs and focused on a politics of state recognition. It reveals the limits of a politics of recognition, both in the state's ongoing production of uncertainty over the claims process.
