Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Written by Sultan Nazrin Shah - the author of the highly acclaimed works Charting the Economy and Striving for Inclusive Development - this book is a pioneering study of the many economic and social changes in the natural resource-rich Malaysian state of Perak over the last two centuries.When globalization first took hold and international trade networks broadened and deepened in the first half of the 19th century, and a newcapitalist world order emerged in the second, Perak was a key player. Its tin was in high demand in Western industrializing countries and foreign capital, labour, and technology propelled it forward. By 1900, Perakaccounted for almost half of Malaya's tin output and a staggering quarter of world output, with its prosperity making it the Malay peninsula's commercial hub. Likewise, during the global rubber boom that began in the early 20th century as cars were mass produced for the first time, Perak was the largest rubber-producing state in the peninsula.This book brings together a range of key sub-themes - economic geography, the institutional legacy of colonialism, increasingfederal government centralization, forces of economic agglomeration, and human migration - which drove Perak's fortunes in sometimes dramatic economic cycles and ultimately led to the collapse of its tinand rubber industries and the migration of many of its young and skilled.The book concludes by looking forward, analysing Perak's characteristics, and extrapolating lessons from formerly wealthy industrial centres originally blessed with natural resources but subsequently left behind by new waves of globalization, such as Cornwall and Sheffield in the United Kingdom, and Pittsburgh and Scranton in the United States. With a new vision Perak can regenerate itself and onceagain emerge triumphant against a tough global background-Covid-19, war, and deglobalization. This book is a pioneering study of the many economic and social changes in the natural resource-rich Malaysian state of Perak over the last two centuries. It brings together multiple sub-themes that have driven Perak's fortunes in sometimes dramatic economic cycles and concludes by looking forward at how Perak can regenerate itself once more.

Paperback. Condition: New. Sultan Nazrin Shah brings together highly distinguished researchers to explore issues in the economic, administrative, and social history of modern Malaysia.The challenge of the plural society - with large 'Malay', 'Chinese', and 'Indian' blocs - is investigated from many angles, particularly the way governments have handled economic inequalities. Both the dangers and the achievements of the New Economic Policy (emerging in 1969-1971) are examined, as are developments in education policy - which today requires invigoration of science and mathematics training if Malaysia is to escape the 'middle-income trap'.Some chapters throw new light on such turning-point episodes as the Japanese occupation (1941-1945) and the communist Emergency (1948-1960). As well as focusing on major cities, other essays investigate the role of small towns in Malaysia's urbanization. We hear the voices of 'poor gardeners, farmers, and hawkers' as well as elite leaders in Malaysia's transition to modernity. Not all change was for the better. In empowering women, for instance, we read that Westernized governmental approaches offer less than the pre-modern Malay heritage.Although the chapters move in many directions, the creative role of government in modern Malaysia - going back to the colonial period - is a dominant narrative. The country's engagement in the global economy - through tin and rubber - was underpinned by establishing law and order, with secure property rights, and the building of a communications and bureaucratic framework. The post-independence government Malayanized British assets, boosted GDP per head of population, addressed the sharp economic disadvantages of the Malay/Bumiputra community, and reoriented the national economy towards 'export-oriented industrialization'. Today, Malaysia is heavily urbanized, with world-leading electrical and electronics hubs in Penang and the Klang Valley.…
