Tobacco and the Malays: Ethnicity, health and the political economy of tobacco in Malaysia

More recently, ratification of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, regional free trade policies reducing t…

Women and tobacco in Indonesia
Although Indonesian women are conspicuous in growing and processing tobacco, their rates of smoking are low in comparison with their male compatriots and internationally.

Although there is little evidence of tobacco advertising directly target…

Malaysia In 1985: A Question of Management
In any year the governance of Malaysia is a daunting task, complicated by an ethnically fragmented society, a federal system spanning the geographically distant East and West segments, and a ruling coalition of almost a dozen separate political parties. In addition, the national leadership must face such long-term challenges as promoting economic development and industrialization, implementing the New Economic Policy (NEP) with its ambitious goal…

In the Malaysian case, the opportunities for even attempting an approximate assessment of the size of the protest vote in any particular election have been limited. Nor have any opinion polls been taken to gauge why voters supported a particular party. It is, therefore, only possible to speculate upon the significance of t…

Co‐optation and Elite Accommodation in Malaysian Politics
It has long been recognized that the process of elite accommodation has been crucial to Malaysia's communal and overall political stability. As the events of 1969 showed, a concerted attempt to undermine the position of the ruling trans communal coalition threatened not only the primacy of the regime, but also overall communal and political stability. Without the adroit accommodation of most of the opposition parties which had challenged the regi…
The Dynamics of Coercion in the Malaysian Political Process
The study of coercion and how it is applied within a political system is useful for a number of reasons. As a strategy of control and management it is in itself worthy of investigation. Moreover, an examination of how coercion is applied can tell us much about the nature of a particular polity. Indeed, as Weber emphasized, the state itself is distinguished from other political systems to the extent that it successfully upholds the claim to the le…
