This book explores the limits of the idea of 'neo-colonialism' -
the idea that in the period immediately after independence
Malaya/Malaysia enjoyed only a 'pseudo-independence', largely
because of the entrenched and dominant position of British business
interests allied to indigenous elites. The author argues that,
although British business did indeed have a strong position in
Malaysia in this period, Malaysian politicians and administrators
were able to utilise British business, which was relatively weak
vis-a-vis the Malaysian state, for their own ends, at the same time
as indigenous businesses and foreign, non-British competitors were
gathering strength. In addition, despite the commitment of both
Conservative and Labour governments in the UK to preserving British
influence worldwide through the Commonwealth relationship, British
firms in Malaysia received only limited support from the British
post-imperial state.
