Globalization and National Autonomy: The Experience of Malaysia

Globalization and National Autonomy

The Experience of Malaysia

"Half a century since Malayan independence in 1957, this collection of essays provides a welcome assessment of post-colonial, especially recent Malaysian policies on various fronts – development, 'looking East', 1997-98 crisis management, inter-ethnic redistribution, poverty reduction, trade, education, healthcare, globalization, Islam and national culture. This volume is a useful compendium for anyone seeking a broad overview of recent policy challenges and debates." – Jomo Kwame Sundaram, United Nations Assistant Secretary General for Economic Development
