This book seeks to break new ground, both empirically and conceptually, in examining discourses of identity formation and the agency of critical social practices in Malaysia.

These related themes reveal how issues such as religion, private capital flows, poverty, the state and democracy, transnational class structures, disruptions in culture and new patterns in the use of language are part of the globalization process. Empirically, the research derives from data from fieldwork within and outside Southeast Asia, with...
This book examines social policy in Muslim countries across the world and the status and role of Islamic teachings in such policies. It fills a gap in the literature by reviewing and comparing the experience of several Muslim countries from across the world.

This book will be of interest to a wide audience in the academic and policy forums related to and interested in Muslim societies and communities.

Syarahan ini mengambil pendirian bahawa sebagai unsur yang dinamik, budaya dan budaya niaga mengambil bentuk yang berlainan dalam konteks struktur sosiekonomi dan politik yang berubah dalam proses pembangunan negara. Budaya niaga etnik Cina Malaysia mengambil bentuk yang berbeza mengikut perubahan dasar ekonomi negara, peluasan peranan kerajaan dalam ekonomi yang melahirkan aktor-aktor baharu dalam bidang ekonomi sama ada untuk bersaing mahupun bekerjasama dengan usahawan Cina dan lain-lain, serta proses globalisasi ekonomi yang semakin pesat dan mencabar yang menuntut daya saing tinggi. Hal ini bererti budaya niaga Cina tidak boleh lagi semata-mata bersifat keluarga dan intra-etnik tetapi h...
