Based upon observation of the 2016 Sarawak state elections at a
time of political turmoil for the ruling Barisan Nasional
coalition, Electoral Dynamics in Sarawak offers four ethnographic
accounts of grassroots electoral politics in diverse constituencies
of Sarawak. Covering Ba' Kelalan, the rural stronghold of Sarawak
Parti Keadilan Rakyat (People's Justice Party) leader Baru Bian;
Tupong, the urban Malay-majority stronghold of the PBB; Stakan, a
mixed constituency in which postal votes proved decisive; and Repok
and Meradong, rural Chinese majority constituencies caught between
the Sarawak United People's Party and the Democratic Action Party,
this volume exposes the diversity and complexity of Sarawak's
electoral geography. Central to the analyses in this volume are not
only the role of ethnicity and the urban/rural divide but also the
longer term impact of the politics of developmentalism, the
personality politics surrounding Chief Minister Adenan Satem and
the emerging force of Sarawakian states' rights enshrined in the
Sarawak for Sarawakians (S4S) social movement. Part of a
comparative study of electoral dynamics across Southeast Asia,
Electoral Dynamics in Sarawak seeks both to analyse the wider
lessons to be learned from the 2016 Sarawak state elections as well
as to deepen our knowledge and understanding of a state which is
likely to play an especially important role in the political future
of Malaysia.
