Between Scylla and Charybdis? Emerging New Malaysia and Its Enigmatic Relations with China
This article traces the evolution of China-Malaysia relations under National Front Prime Minister Najib Razak and the Alliance of Hope Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad. While the Belt and Road Initiative ( bri ) strengthened Beijing’s support of Najib’s kleptocratic regime in Malaysia, the 2018 general elections brought the anti-graft Alliance of Hope coalition led by Mahathir into power. Under Mahathir’s leadership, Malaysia cancelled several lar…
Malaysia
This article looks at the Malaysian perception of the contemporary rise of China by focusing more on the country’s societal response rather than from a broad overall perspective of international strategic relations and diplomacy. The Malaysian society is seen as a complex multi-entity construct, constituted by often sharply differentiated fragments and sub-fragments which could exhibit vastly different responses to the implications of the rise of…
From status inconsistency to revisionism
This paper delves into the shifts in the foreign policy of Russia, considering what has determined Russia's grand strategy orientation after the collapse of the Soviet Union. It also attempts to offer an explanation of why Russia becomes discounted with the ‘constitutive and normative structure’, and how its foreign policy shifted toward the anti-status quo orientation, especially after the color revolutions. The main purpose of this paper is to …
Introduction
Literacy and Education in Contemporary China
Education is undoubtedly playing an important role in economic development. The overall illiteracy rate in China has been decreasing since 1980 but there are still some areas such as the western region and rural areas that continue to suffer from a high level of illiteracy due to the lack of capital inflow and government funding. This has indirectly affected economic growth and development in those particular areas. The government has launched va…
Socioeconomic Development and Ethno-Cultural Diversity
It is undeniable that Malaysia has made impressive progress in both economic development and social reconstruction since the tragedy of the 1969 racial riots. Nevertheless, the threat of interethnic mistrust looms large and wide. It could both be the scourge afflicting poor states, as well as the sword of Damocles even in times of prosperity. While the transformation of Malaysia from a rural-agrarian to a rapidly industrializing economy has been …
Fiscal reform, decentralization and poverty alleviation in the context of China's 12th Five-Year Plan
China is said to be one of the world's most economically decentralized countries. While the claim that economic as well as fiscal decentralization had much to do with the success of China's reforms is controversial and it has been argued that China's approach to administrative decentralization might over time threaten the success of the reform process, the highly remarkable extent of fiscal decentralization could have the potential to aid the eff…
Introduction
China’s Regional Policy, Poverty and the Ethnic Question
While China’s reforms have been successful in giving many people higher incomes and producing more goods and services, they also led to increasingly acute inequality in income and wealth among the populace. From one of the world’s most egalitarian societies in the 1970s, today China has turned into one of the most unequal countries in the region and even among developing countries in general. While China’s alleviation of poverty has been nothing …
