The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Brunei presents an overview
of significant themes, issues, and challenges pertinent to Brunei
Darussalam in the twenty-first century. Multidisciplinary in
coverage, the contributions cover topics relating to philology,
history, religion, language and literature, geography,
international relations, economics, politics and sociocultural
traditions. The Handbook is structured in eight parts: Foundations
History Faith and Ethnicity Literature Language and Education
Economics Material Culture Empowerment Chapters focus on the recent
past and contemporary developments in this unique country which has
remained a Malay Muslim sultanate, sustaining its religious and
traditional heritage encapsulated in the national philosophy,
Melayu Islam Beraja (MIB, Malay Islamic Monarchy). The MIB
philosophy represents the sultanate's three pillars of social,
cultural, political and economic sustainability, and the
contributors discuss this concept in relation to the notion of
'Malay' or 'Malaydom', the official religion of the nation-state,
Islam and monarchy as the essential system of government. This
Handbook is an invaluable reference work for students of Asian and
Southeast Asian Studies and researchers interested in what is
demographically the smallest country within the Association of
Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
