The red flags signalling a democratic deficit have always been prominent: from the long-standing harassment, detention, and assassination of peaceful human rights defenders like Chea Vichea, Chut Wutty, and Tep Vanny, to ratcheting up efforts to deter civil society organisation through dubious, hostile legislation. More likely, the trade-offs between popular power and stability have been weighed by the EU and accepted, where these have tipped in its favour—in this case, shoring up a regional ally and trading partner, as well as delivering rapid rates of economic growth that have won Cambodia middle-income status, thus serving up a ready exemplar of neoliberal development logic.

Verb

[edit]

tip (third-person singular simple present tips, present participle tipping, simple past and past participle tipped)

  1. To give a piece of private information to; to inform (someone) of a clue, secret knowledge, etc. [from late 19th c.]
    • 1987 October 1, Charles W. Murdock, “Heard It Through the Grapevine: The Future of Insider-Trading Laws”, in ABA Journal‎[9], volume 73, number 12, pages 104 of 100–108:Dirks was an investment analyst who learned from a former employee of Equity Funding that the company had been fraudulently manufacturing insurance policies. Dirks tipped several institutions which then liquidated $16 million in Equity Funding stock before the fraud was exposed and the bottom fell out of the market. According to the Court, Dirks was a hero for (eventually) exposing the fraud. The SEC's censure of Dirks for tipping inside information was reversed because, the Supreme Court held, the liability of a tippee derives from that of the tipper. If the tipper is without sin, so is the tippee. Here, the employee's purpose in informing Dirks was to expose the fraud, so the tipper breached no duty. Moreover, according to the Court, for there to be a breach of duty, there must be personal benefit (in the form of pecuniary gain or reputational benefit that will translate into future earnings) arising to the tipper from the disclosure.
    • 1996, Donald C. Langevoort, “The Reform of Joint and Several Liability Under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Proportionate Liability, Contribution Rights and Settlement Effects”, in The Business Lawyer‎[10], volume 51, number 4, The American Bar Association, pages 1163 of 1157–1175:In rare instances, the provision logically could apply to the private right of action given to contemporaneous traders to recover for insider trading (e.g., a case where an insider tipped an associate about some forthcoming corporate event, and the tippee was found liable based on recklessness).
    • 2007, Paul Irvine, Marc Lipson, Andy Puckett, “Tipping”, in The Review of Financial Studies‎[11], volume 20, number 3, pages 755 of 741–768:If the institutional trading patterns we observe are a result of tipping, rather than precipitated by some other event, then we should see only a slight increase in the number of institutions active in the market (tipping would precipitate entry by, at most, the few institutions that were tipped). At the same time, given the nature of the reports, we should see an increase in the average buying activity of institutions (we cannot identify the specific institutions that were tipped, so we can only look at averages) and see little change in selling.
  2. (Australia) To enter a prediction of the winning team of a football game, as part of a footy tipping competition.
    • 2022 May 5, Tim Miller, “The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions: Round 8”, in The Roar‎[12]:The rest of Saturday’s games have tantalising opportunities for upsets – but I’m going to tip conservatively.
    • 2010 April 23, Spiral, “Stampede Tipping Comp 2010!”, in Cowboys Stampede‎[13]:I tipped all the home teams except for the Sharks and Storm.
  3. (Australia) To predict something having a particular outcome.
    • 2019 April 27, John Pesutto, “Austere pay rises would conflict with case for a 'living wage'”, in The Age‎[14]:I'm tipping that, although complex accounting treatments tend to separate capital items and recurrent programs and impede overall visibility, there are significant overspends across the infrastructure portfolio.
    • 2022 September 4, Dominic McGrath, “Truss tipped to win UK leadership race”, in The Canberra Times‎[15]:Liz Truss is widely tipped to defeat rival Rishi Sunak to become the new British prime minister.
    • 2025 March 8, “Federal government to hand down 25 March budget after Tropical Cyclone Alfred delays election announcement”, in The Guardian‎[16]:The prime minister was widely tipped to call the election this weekend for 12 April, allowing Labor to avoid a pre-ballot budget that is expected to confirm a return to deficit.
