Khmer nationalism (or Cambodian nationalism) is a form of nationalism found in Cambodia, that asserts that Khmers (Cambodians) are a nation and promotes the cultural unity of the Khmer (Cambodian) race. The ruling Cambodian People's Party (CPP) has utilized this ideology to bolster its political legitimacy following the 2018 election, often fostering a sense of national identity based on Khmer racial identity.
