Democracy Denied
Was democracy denied at the 2013 polls? Political observer and academic Bridget Welsh presents a detailed analysis of the results of Malaysia's 2013 general election based on detailed fieldwork before and after the 2013 polls.

Traditional explanations prioritize the federal-state relationship in shaping Sabah politics. This collection challenges this paradigm, suggesting that politics in Sabah should be better understood as a reflection of conditions within Sabah—as Sabahans struggle to navigate and survive on Malaysia's periphery.
