Malaysian Politics Under Mahathir
Malaysia's long serving Prime Minister, Mahathir Mohamad, is a controversial political figure. High rates of economic growth and a striking reduction in poverty have been the hallmarks of a vibrant "Tiger" economy. This success has now been placed in jeopardy by the recent economic crisis, and Mahathir's rule is coming under hostile scrutiny. This book examines Mahathir's character, his ideas and frequently despotic nature and relates them to the social, economic and political setting inside Malaysia. His success at managing ethnic tensions, policies of industrialization, modernization and foreign policy are covered, as are his grandiose projects, low regard for human rights and failure to check corruption. The authors also discuss the political prospects of his deputy Anwar Ibrahim.

After Independence
The majority of the existing work on nationalism has centered on its role in the creation of new states. After Independence breaks new ground by examining the changes to nationalism after independence in seven new states. This innovative volume challenges scholars and specialists to rethink conventional views of ethnic and civic nationalism and the division between primordial and constructivist understandings of national identity. "Where do nationalists go once they get what they want? We know rather little about how nationalist movements transform themselves into the governments of new states, or how they can become opponents of new regimes that, in their view, have not taken the self-deter...
Participation Without Democracy
"With an empirical focus on regimes in Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia, the author examines the social forces that underpin the emergence of institutional experiments in democratic participation and representation"--
Malaysian Maverick
Mahathir Mohamad turned Malaysia into one of the developing world's most successful economies. He adopted pragmatic economic policies alongside repressive political measures and showed that Islam was compatible with representative government and modernization. He emerged as a Third World champion and Islamic spokesman by standing up to the West.
Security, Arms Control, and Conflict Reduction in East Asia and the Pacific
This is the most comprehensive bibliography to date on the vast English-language literature covering the myriad aspects of peace and security issues in the East Asia/Pacific region. McClean contacted 150 key research institutions and publishers around the world for information about the most significant books, articles, dissertations, and official documents on international and intra-state security, arms control, conflict-avoiding diplomacy, and militarization in the area. He has selectively annotated 12,645 cross-referenced entries and organized them into 27 sub-regional and country chapters including two particularly extensive chapters on Japan and China and two further chapters on relations between Australia, New Zealand, and the United States, and on U.S. and Soviet policy.
Security Perspectives of the Malay Archipelago
The Malay Archipelago - namely Singapore, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia and the Philippines - has recently risen in prominence as the 'second front' in the war on terrorism. This study argues that the Malay Archipelago constitutes a distinct sub-regional security complex within Southeast Asia due to the existence of patterns of amity and enmity, as well as transnational terrorism linkages.
