Paperback. Condition: New. 2020 ed. This book examines state-state relations and new forms of state business relations that have emerged with an increase in China's foreign direct investments in Malaysia. Focusing on investments in the industrial sector and through in-depth case studies, this book adopts a novel framework to analyse these different types of state-business relations. These new forms of state-business relations are created from the different modes of negotiations between different key actors in each of the cases. Diverse outcomes were found, reflecting the disparate forms of power relationships and state cohesiveness with unique institutional architectures formed in each case. The book identifies a major shift in structural power in these new forms of state-business relations as China's large multinational state-owned enterprises increasingly invest in Malaysia. A well-constructed institutional architecture is needed, not just in Malaysia but for other Southeast Asian countries, if foreign investments areto be harnessed to promote effective industrial development.…

Paperback. Condition: New. The ten Southeast Asian economies reached a milestone on 31 December 2015, when they announced the formation of an ASEAN Community. Although this includes three pillars - ASEAN Political-Security Community, ASEAN Economic Community (AEC) and the ASEAN Socio?Cultural Community - it is the economic pillar that generates immense debate, due to its expected quantifiable benefits to member countries. This book, thus, focuses on the ASEAN Economic Community and seeks to explain the need for building domestic consensus within the member countries. It starts with an overview chapter describing the current achievements of the AEC. It then explores possible explanations for the achievements/non-achievements and offers a hypothesis on conflicting economic interests in a country as one possible explanation for gaps in implementation. This is because any form of economic liberalisation brings with it the winners and losers, thereby raising resistance to liberalization measures and slowing down the implementation process. The book includes six country chapters - Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam ? that examine sources of domestic conflict/s in greater detail and depth. It also includes a regional chapter, co?authored by the ex-Secretary General of ASEAN, Mr Rodolfo Severino, that brings out the political nature of ASEAN economic cooperation since its inception in 1976. For ASEAN beyond 2015, the book articulates the need to obtain a strong domestic consensus that supports the integration initiatives of the AEC. This can be viewed as a way forward to accelerate and deepen integration within ASEAN. The book concludes with some suggestions on how each country can move towards achieving domestic consensus, based on the respective country level analysis.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In the wake of Malaysiaa's 13th General Election some commentators speak of a sharpening of ethnic politics a" with Prime Minister Najib blaming a aChinese tsunamia for his governmenta's polling setbacks; others are optimistic about the arrival of a new anon-racialized form of politicsa and the emergence of atransethnic solidaritya. This book which engages with both the race paradigm and its opponents warns that change is likely to come slowly a" but is not impossible. Malaysiaa's race paradigm is a man-made ideological construct a" one that has been contested in the past and could realistically be contested in the future. In confronting the continuing challenge of globalization Malaysians should not neglect the history of ideas a" and ideology a" as they search for new options.
