Malaysian Politics Under Mahathir
A hard-hitting and readable book which examines Mahathir's character, his ideas and policies and relates them to the social, economic and political setting inside Malaysia. Up until recently, high rates of economic growth and a striking reduction in poverty have been the hallmarks of this vibrant Tiger economy. Mahathir's success has now been placed in jeopardy by the recent economic crisis, and his rule is coming under hostile scrutiny. As one of the most controversial political figures in South-east Asia, Mahathir's success at managing ethnic tensions, policies of industrialization, modernization and foreign policy are explored, as are his grandiose projects, his human rights record and approach to corruption. Milne and Mauzy, leading authors in this field, assess Mahathir's rule within this context as well as the abrupt dismissal from office, arrest and trial of Anwar Ibrahim, Mahathir's deputy, in late 1998.

In a country which has long been regarded as a supreme example of the welfare state what issues remain as fields for party conflict?" -- Inside front cover.
The Malayan Parliamentary Election of 1964
"In the early days of a country's independence there is much to be said for observing its politics by considering the cross-section of its political life, sharply focussed by the intense activity of an election. Studies such as this can answer many questions concerning the political process, but unless the material is quickly captured and recorded much of it will disappear. For this reason, the present work is a descriptive study of the 1964 election rather than a study in depth through methods of social antthropology."--Back cover.
