Book Synopsis Political Oppositions in Industrialising Asia by : Garry Rodan
Download or read book Political Oppositions in Industrialising Asia written by Garry Rodan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-04-15 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Industrialization has meant sweeping social transformations across Asia. Some political commentators have predicted that the expansion of civil society and the rapid development of liberal democracy will necessarily follow. The contributors to this volume dissect the extent of political opposition in Asia and analyze the nature of new social movements outside institutional party politics which are contesting the exercise of state power. Nine original case studies explore the variety of political oppositions across Asia, from non-governmental organizations and the formal opponents of the PAP in Singapore to Chinese dissidents based outside the People's Republic of China. All take up the challenge of looking at political opposition in the light of the new social phenomenon of the rising middle class or 'new rich' of Asia. Garry Rodan's hard-hitting analysis of the problems of current political theorizing in relation to Asia sets the case studies firmly in the context of wider debates about democratization. Political Oppositions in Industrialising Asia shatters complacent assumptions about the progress of liberal democracy.
Download or read book Pedra Branca written by S. Jayakumar and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the territorial dispute between Malaysia and Singapore over Pedra Branca, a small but strategically located island near the entrance to the Straits of Malacca. It describes how the two countries managed the dispute over three decades until final resolution by the International Court of Justice in May 2008. The two authors, who were personally involved in the case, recount the many twists and turns in the dispute as well as behind the scenes political and diplomatic manoeuvres. At a time when Asia still has numerous unresolved territorial disputes, the book would be of great interest to scholars, academics and practitioners in politics, international relations, history, diplomatic and legal circles.

Book Synopsis Democracy: The Challenges Ahead by : Aharon Klieman
Download or read book Democracy: The Challenges Ahead written by Aharon Klieman and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-07-27 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bottom-line message of this book is democracy resurgent - but not triumphant. There are any number of conceivable anti-democratic threats and no prospect of ever achieving either a satisfactory or a permanent level of democracy in all countries and societies. Any lowering of the guard by democracy's defenders in academia or real-world politics risks the danger of democracy once again falling upon hard times or even regressing.

Book Synopsis The End of Umno? Essays on Malaysia’s Former Dominant Party by : Bridget Welsh
Download or read book The End of Umno? Essays on Malaysia’s Former Dominant Party written by Bridget Welsh and published by Strategic Information and Research Development Centre. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the future of Malaysia’s former dominant party, the United Malays National Organisation or UMNO? With the loss of government in the May 2018 General Election (GE14) after 61 years in government, the party faces a different, more uncertain future. It is grappling with its new role in the national political opposition and continued questions about the leadership of former prime minister Najib Tun Razak. This collection is an expanded edition of the original 2016, The End of UMNO? It includes the original five essays (including the foreword by current Foreign Minister in the Pakatan Harapan government and former UMNO Supreme Council member Saifuddin Abdullah), as well as new post-GE14 epilogue essays by each of the contributors – John Funston, Clive Kessler, James Chin and Bridget Welsh, all prominent and established scholars studying Malaysian politics. It also includes a new foreword by veteran UMNO leader, Tengku Razaleigh Hamzah, who contested for the party presidency in the June 2018 party elections. The contributors in this collection study developments in Malaysia’s dominant party, the United Malays National Organisation (UMNO) and discuss the question of whether UMNO is in fact at an end. The answers to its future lie in part with a better understanding of its past and present. The authors draw attention to issues of party identity, leadership, membership, governance, institutional change, party financing, internal divisions and its relations with different communities and the public at large. The new and expanded edition draws attention to the factors that contributed to UMNO’s loss of government in GE14 and potential steps ahead. Not only does this book fill an important gap in the scholarly research on UMNO, this book offers different perspectives on the party’s contemporary challenges. This book aims to contribute to understanding, broaden public debate and stimulate further research on arguably one of Malaysia’s most important political institutions.

Book Synopsis Malay Political Leadership by : Tony Shome
Download or read book Malay Political Leadership written by Tony Shome and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates how particular values and 'notions of leadership', which underpinned traditional Malay leadership, have played a crucial role in the political evolution of the modern Malaysian nation. The author discusses the nature of Malay 'notions of leadership', and considers this throughout the Malay world at the local as well as at the national level, and goes on to describe and analyse leadership from pre-independence leadership in the colonial period through the rule of Malaysia's four prime ministers. He draws on anthropology, psychology, and political and economic history to show how Malay leaders have kept within the established track of the Malay value system, responding in particular to the expectation of their people to provide a sense of national identity and unity against the complex background of the Malaysian 'mosaic', while addressing the needs of the wider multi-ethnic community. Throughout the evolutionary development of Malay leadership, symbolisms for the perpetuation of leadership veneration persisted in its institutions and in the sublime power of the sultans. The Malay case offers one of the most remarkable studies of leadership, in its attempt to maintain indigenous primacy in a large multi-racial environment, subscribing to western democracy for its governance while retaining conservative Islamic values. This book is a significant contribution to the understanding of the evolution of leadership. It begins with an explanation of the early Malay World belief system and progresses to the period of colonization and nationalism. It then follows through the dynamics of modern politics encapsulating the biographical profiles of all Malaysia's Prime Ministers - Tunku, Razak, Hussein, and Mahathir - in three aspects: national unity, the economy and foreign affairs. The analysis of Mahathir's leadership extends into the new millennium. This is the only book with biographical profiles of all of Malaysia's Prime Ministers. This book will be of interest to students, academics, politicians, foreign affairs specialists and any reader interested in leadership studies and about Malaysia's political and economic history.

Book Synopsis Malaysian Foreign Policy in the Mahathir Era, 1981-2003 by : Karminder Singh Dhillon
Download or read book Malaysian Foreign Policy in the Mahathir Era, 1981-2003 written by Karminder Singh Dhillon and published by NUS Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Summary: "Malaysia's former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad is often seen as the sole author of the country's foreign policy. Malaysian Foreign Policy in the Mahathir Era shows that while Mahathir's personality, leadership style, political ideology and brand of nationalism unquestionably had a deep impact, so too did domestic issues and external forces associated with globalization. The book examines seven major foreign policy initiatives of the Mahathir period: Buy British Last, Anti-Commonwealth, Look East, Third World Spokesmanship, Regional Engagement, Islamic Posturing and Commercial and Developmental Diplomacy. In discussing these topics, the author explains the significance for foreign policy of communal concerns, the regime's need to maintain its own authority in the face of political and social initiatives (some rooted in Islam), and its desire to achieve national development. He also discusses external pressures, including Japan's regional designs, Singapore's defense posture and the growing importance of China for the region. The approach breaks away from the elitist decision making styles and single factor models usually employed to explain the foreign policy of developing nations, and establishes a direct link between domestic politics and foreign policy during the period studied, suggesting that the latter was truly an extension of the former."--Publisher description.

Download or read book From AS to AG written by Ambrin Buang and published by Humanology Sdn Bhd. This book was released on 2022-02-22 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a modest attempt to reminisce the author's career as a PTD officer. The author have served 46 years as a government servant, 35 years as a PTD officer and 11 years as the Auditor-General of Malaysia. Not many officers have served that long in the service of the nation. The Pegawai Tadbir & Diplomatik Service(PTD) has been hailed as the nation’s premier service, as successor to the Malaysian Home and Foreign Service (MHFS) in 1972. The MHFS was the successor to the Malayan Civil Service (MCS) in 1966, which was set up in 1921 by the British Colonial Administration. The PTD and its precursors, the MCS and the MHFS, have played a pivotal and strategic role in national development since the nation attained its independence in 1957. It has been responsive to the political leadership of the day, always mindful of its political neutrality obligation. Coincidently, the year 2021, the year the author's little book is published, marks the 100th Anniversary of the MCS and the PTD. Unfortunately, not much has been written about the PTD and MCS. To the best of his knowledge, there were four books written about the PTD/MCS, namely ‘At the Forefront of Nation Building’ by Sheens Gurbakhash & Fiona Ghaus; ‘Taking The Road Less Travelled’ by Datuk Dr Shaari Ahmad Jabar; ‘Service Par Excellence’ by Datuk Wan Mansur Abdullah; and ‘Tun Abdullah Ayub’ by Fatini Yaacob and Toh Puan Anna Abdul Ranee.

Book Synopsis Karpal Singh, Tiger of Jelutong: The Full Biography by : Tim Donoghue
Download or read book Karpal Singh, Tiger of Jelutong: The Full Biography written by Tim Donoghue and published by Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2014-07-15 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Karpal Singh is widely regarded as Malaysia’s best criminal and constitutional lawyer. His sudden death on 17 April 2014 in a horrific car accident – just a month after he was convicted of sedition in the High Court – shocked and saddened Malaysians to the core and left a deep void in the country’s legal and political landscape. Karpal was a fearless advocate for justice and a defender of human rights in South East Asia, and has appeared in the Privy Council in London on a number of occasions before such appeals were abandoned by Malaysia. He is renowned for his defence of many people from many nations who have faced the death penalty under Malaysia's Dangerous Drugs Act. In recent years, one of his biggest achievements was his successful defence of former Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim on two charges of sodomy in 2012. On the night he died, Karpal was still fighting for Anwar, who had been convicted once again of sodomy, and seeking to reassure him. He told the Opposition leader in a telephone call he would do his best in the prosecution’s ‘fast-tracked’ Federal Court of Appeal. Indeed Karpal had Anwar’s files with him in his vehicle when the fateful crash occurred. In this revised and updated edition, veteran journalist Tim Donoghue completes the biography of Malaysia’s tenacious and principled lawyer-politician
