This book explores the ways in which language and education
policies have contributed to the development of national
integration in Malaysia, by examining whether and how policies have
succeeded in forming a middle ground. Considered through the lenses
of policy-making structure and achievement, this volume examines
the relationships between the formation of a middle ground in
language and education policies and the political structure,
economic growth strategies and social system. It then goes on to
explore the extent to which these policies have contributed to
national integration whilst providing a valuable discussion on the
complexities involved in developing a consistent policy framework.
Drawing on research surveys of Malay proficiency amongst ethnic
Chinese people, it ultimately demonstrates how the unification of
education streams has contributed to the spread of the Malay
language as a major medium of inter-ethnic communication within the
Chinese community. As the most up-to-date study of contemporary
Malaysian politics, focusing on the issue of national integration,
this book will appeal to students and scholars of Southeast Asian
politics, ethnicity, and education policy.
