Book Synopsis Authoritarian Populism in Malaysia by : A. Munro-Kua
Download or read book Authoritarian Populism in Malaysia written by A. Munro-Kua and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-11-13 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Socio-economic and political issues are dealt with selectively within a chronological historical framework, covering the dramatic colonial impact of 1940-60 until the present day. The state is examined from the point of view of social class as well as communalism, to explain the dominance of the ruling coalition over the 37 years since independence. The author argues that authoritarian-populism is the concept that best fits the apparent paradox of an enduring regime via the ballot box, and the extensive restrictions on the scope of democracy, particularly through the repressive apparatus of detention without trial. The underlying theme is a critique and explanation of Malaysia's human rights record.
Book Synopsis Authoritarian Populism in Malaysia by : Anne Munro-Kua
Download or read book Authoritarian Populism in Malaysia written by Anne Munro-Kua and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1996 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Malaysian state boasts of economic buoyancy and political stability as one of the later, albeit smaller dragons to emerge in Southeast Asia, yet one which at first glance is not the authoritarian regime of Pinochet, for example. Understanding the nature of the state is the focus of this book: first, from a theoretical point of view to suggest that authoritarian populism is the most appropriate analytical concept with which to address this question, but also from a human rights perspective of class-based communal policies and the prolonged use of detention without trial. The serious consequences for the health democracy and the participatory rights of the people are spelled out at many different levels." "Failing Western economies often talk of imitating the Eastern approach to development. However, it is clear from this account that the outcome for the health of democracy and the rights of the people is not necessarily positive."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Distributive Politics in Malaysia by : Hidekuni Washida
Download or read book Distributive Politics in Malaysia written by Hidekuni Washida and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-10-11 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The election on 9 May 2018 ended six decades of rule by the ruling coalition in Malaysia (Barisan Nasional or BN, formerly the Alliance). Despite this result, the BN’s longevity and resilience to competition is remarkable. This book explores the mechanisms behind the emergence, endurance, fight for survival and decline of the party’s dominance. Using a systematic analysis of key resources (budgets, posts, and seats), Washida challenges the conventional argument that a punitive threat to exclude opposition supporters from distributive benefits sustained the loyalty of the masses as well as the elites. He also calls into question whether the mere existence of party organization in and of itself enables leaders to credibly commit to power-sharing. Instead he posits a theory of mobilization agency, in which a party leader needs to design an effective incentive mechanism. In addition, he explains how the BN had manufactured legislative dominance by tactical gerrymandering and malapportionment. The insights drawn from the Malaysian case can help deepen our understanding of the rise and fall of authoritarian parties and distributive politics in general.

Book Synopsis Personalized Politics by : In-wŏn Hwang
Download or read book Personalized Politics written by In-wŏn Hwang and published by Institute of Southeast Asian Studies. This book was released on 2003 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an innovative analysis of regime maintenance and transformation in Malaysia. It goes beyond familiar approaches centred on communal politics, or the corporate workings of Malaysia Inc., to stress the importance of power maintenance - tracing a path from consociational bargaining to authoritarian UMNO dominance, to Dr Mahathir's personal dominance. The author has synthesized a diverse range of sources, and in particular made insightful use of interviews with nearly all the key actors. The analysis is up-to-date, including the dramatic challenge to Dr Mahathir's dominance associated with his sacking of deputy Anwar Ibrahim following the Asian economic crisis.
Book Synopsis Illusions of Democracy by : Sophie Lemière
Download or read book Illusions of Democracy written by Sophie Lemière and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2019-08-14 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bringing together a group of both international and Malaysian scholars, this book offers an up-to-date and broad analysis of the contemporary state of Malaysian politics and society. Transcending disciplinary boundaries, it offers a look at Malaysian politics not only through the lens of political science but also anthropology, cultural studies, international relations, political economy and legal studies touching on both overlooked topics in Malaysian political life as well as the emerging trends which will shape Malaysia's future. Covering silat martial arts, Malaysia's constitutional identity, emergency legislation, the South China Sea dilemma, ISIS discourse, zakat payment, the fallout from the 1MDB scandal and Malaysia's green movement, Illusions of Democracy charts the complex and multi-faceted nature of political life in a semi-authoritarian state, breaking down the illusions which keep it functioning, to uncover the mechanisms which really underlie the paradoxical longevity of Malaysia's political, economic and social system.

Book Synopsis Internet Use and Protest in Malaysia and Other Authoritarian Regimes by : Kris Ruijgrok
Download or read book Internet Use and Protest in Malaysia and Other Authoritarian Regimes written by Kris Ruijgrok and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the impact of internet use on anti-government protesting under authoritarian rule. By breaking up the causal chain into various steps, it provides a thorough and nuanced understanding of internet's role in different stages of the mobilization process. It argues that the impact of internet use on anti-governmental protesting differs per step in the 'mobilization chain', and also that the effect depends on both the on- and offline repression of the regime, as well as on the type of internet that is available. While staying far away from any technologically deterministic claims about the internet, the book demonstrates that the internet especially plays an important role in the early stages of the mobilization process: By exposing citizens to alternative political information online, internet users are more likely to become sympathetic towards anti-governmental protest movements. Kris Ruijgrok is Lecturer at the PPLE Multi-Disciplinary Institute (Politics, Psychology, Law and Economics), University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Book Synopsis Populism in Asia by : Pasuk Phongpaichit
Download or read book Populism in Asia written by Pasuk Phongpaichit and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across Asia, "populist" leaders emerged on an unprecedented scale around the start of the 21st century. Populism in Asia is the first book to examine this phenomenon. The 1997 Asian financial crisis undermined established political leaders and stirred popular discontent. Voters in East Asia responded by electing maverick politicians who promised to target corruption and establish fresh agendas. In Southeast Asia, populist leaders based their appeal on the frustrations and aspirations of groups excluded from political power. Leaders who came to office during this period include Thaksin Shinawatra in Thailand, Joseph 'Erap' Estrada in the Philippines, Roo Moo-hyun in South Korea, Chen Shui-bian in Taiwan and Jun'ichiro Koizumi in Japan. Local politicians in Indonesia likewise adopted a populist stance, as did Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad in Malaysia. In the present volume, leading Asian scholars consider the many faces of contemporary populism in the region, analyzing the phenomenon through case studies of political leaders with populist credentials and using these accounts to evaluate the achievements and failings of democracy. Benedict Anderson provides a reflective afterword. Despite its allure, populism has not been a success in Asia. Populist leaders are in retreat across the region and their fall can be spectacular, as in the Philippines and Thailand. However, the editors of this collection argue that populism will recur because Asia's oligarchic political systems do not fulfill the imagined role of the state as a provider of well-being, citizenship rights and equality.
