This substantial book examines key economic, political and social
aspects of Malaysia at the turn of the new century. It covers the
years of rapid growth and dramatic structural change leading up to
the 1997 financial crisis, and the subsequent adjustments which
enabled the economy to resume its vigorous advance. The authors
critically address affirmative action policies aiming to help
Malays enter the modern economy and make income distribution more
equitable while reducing poverty. They look at case studies of
persisting poverty amidst economic progress, and also scrutinize
the development of East Malaysia with its special problems away
from the centre of power in Kuala Lumpur. The authors review the
direction of politics after Prime Minister Mahathir, as well as
exploring Malaysia's foreign, education, and labour policies. They
canvass the idea of a 'new Malay' better adapted to modern society,
investigate the position of the Chinese, examine the struggle for
women's rights within the religious framework of Islam, and discuss
the contributions of Malaysian NGOs to ongoing changes. They
finally draw together crucial issues facing Malaysia in the 21st
century. The contributors, who are leading scholars in their
spheres, have produced a wide ranging and comprehensive guide to
the economy and society of Malaysia. This book will be of great
value and interest to students and scholars of Asian economics,
development and social studies.
