The remarkably rich natural environment of Malaysia attracts the
interest of both industry and the environmental community. Managing
Natural Wealth analyzes major natural resource and environmental
policy issues in the country during the 1970s and 1980s-a period of
profound socioeconomic change, rapid depletion of natural
resources, and the emergence of serious problems with pollution.
Managing Natural Wealth is an important update to Environment
and Development in a Resource-Rich Economy: Malaysia under the New
Economic Policy. First published in hardcover in 1997, this
pathbreaking book emphasized economics as a source for analyzing
the issues involved in environmental and natural resource
management in developing countries. The access that Jeffrey Vincent
and Rozali Mohamed Ali and the contributing authors had to
unpublished data and key decisionmakers made their account an
essential reference for policymakers and researchers in Malaysia
and throughout the world. Managing Natural Wealth includes a review
of key developments since the 1990s by S. Robert Aiken and Colin H.
Leigh, two geographers with a long-standing interest in
environmental change in Malaysia and an understanding of the
institutional context of its environmental policy that is unmatched
in the scholarly community.
