Description and Table of Contents
Description
This study provides a detailed analysis of transformation in the Malaysian economy. It highlights the role of ethnic politics in shaping Malaysia's economic situation, and thus provides an insight into why Malaysia, despite favourable factors in its past, has not become one of the newly-industrialized countries like Taiwan or Hong Kong. It will provide a useful framework for studying other ethnically divided societies.
