A recent Aljazeera report on Cambodia's Orphan Business' explains how voluntourism could be fuelling the exploitation of Cambodian children'. Anti-orphanage tourism movements have emerged to resist the growth of Cambodia's contested orphanage tourism industry, which is blamed for widespread corruption and the exploitation of children for profit. Taking a Polanyian political economy approach, this article illustrates how the emergence of and response to the orphanage tourism industry represent, in Karl Polanyi's words, a double movement' between the neoliberalization of orphanages and the corollary protective countermovement by anti-orphanage tourism campaigns that challenge the industry's morality and legitimacy. It argues that while resistance to the commodification of orphanages under the newly neoliberalized Cambodian economy reflects Polanyi's double movement thesis, the limits of this resistance are also indicative of how countermovements are challenged by the broader political economy in which they operate.
