Opis

Analyses discourses pertinent to democratic politics in Malaysia, including the political elite's interpretation of 'Asian values' and 'Asian democracy', contending Islamic views on democracy, the impact of developmentalism on political culture, and the recovery of women's voice in everyday politics.

The latest volume in the Democracy in Asia series provides a further significant contribution to the international discourse on democracy.

Recenzje

'A significant and substantial text examining 1990s Malaysia and providing much food for thought.' - Southeast Asian Studies
