The Roots of Resilience
In The Roots of Resilience Meredith L. Weiss examines governance from the ground up in the world's two most enduring electoral authoritarian or "hybrid" regimes—Singapore and Malaysia—where politically liberal and authoritarian features blend, evading substantive democracy. Weiss explains that while key attributes of these regimes differ, affecting the scope, character, and balance among national parties and policies, local machines, and personalized linkages, the similarity in the overall patterns in these countries confirms the salience of those dimensions. The Roots of Resilience shows that high levels of authoritarian acculturation, amplifying the political payoffs of what parties and politicians actually provide their constituents, explain why electoral turnover alone is insufficient for real regime change in either state.
Introducing Lyotard
The first truly introductory text on Lyotard, this book situates Lyotard's interventions in the postmodern debate in the wider context of his rethinking of the politics of representation. Bill Readings examines Lyotard's relationship to structuralism, Marxism and semiotics, and contrasts his work with the literary deconstruction of Paul de Man; he positions Lyotard's work so as to draw out the implications of poststructurlaism's attention to difference in reading. Lyotard's willingness to question the political and examine the relationship between art and politics is shown to undermine the charge that deconstruction abdicates political and social articulation.
Mass Graves
This is a tale of how a hardened veteran journalist combed through jungle coverings, steep terrain, bureaucratic officials in high positions, and uncooperative security personnel to uncover one of the most chilling findings of recent decades — Malaysia’s own killing fields. The victims are the world’s forgotten community of the Rohingya, where some 139 souls lost their lives in a most dreadful manner. Their remains were found in Wang Kelian, the often-overlooked border township of Perlis. The circumstances of their deaths highlight the struggle of regional neighbors to collectively attain peace, security, and mutual prosperity. This book explores the difficulties the author faced in sourcing sensitive information, his trek through jungle coverings, and his grisly weeks later. The content also intertwines with newspaper clippings illustrating how investigative journalism works in Malaysia at its best. Arulldass shared that the reporting done on the mass graves was the epitome of his career.
Why Me?
The book is a reflection of a post-COVID world, workplace, work and worker. It focuses on the stresses COVID has created, especially in the context of the accelerated, rapidly changing work environment. The book adopts a Singaporean perspective in viewing the nexus between the forces of change, culture and management as it relates to work. In considering how best to increase employee engagement, employee motivation and productivity, it proposes a framework through which leaders, talent practitioners and managers can organise worker collaboration and generate synergy in the process, cumulatively encapsulated by the notion of workplace culture. The book concludes with a view of the futures of work, the main forces of change, complex (wicked) change and a way forward.
