Opis

Industrializing Malaysia presents a critical analysis of the experience of industrialization in Malaysia, examining the role, impact and efficacy of post-independence industrialization policies. The volume seeks to refocus attention on some major intended, as well as unintended, implications and consequences of policies and performance. A wide range of issues is covered and in addition to general historical commentaries and sectoral studies, there are analyses of direct foreign investment, technology, linkages, free trade zones, industrial estates and rural development. In discussing these issues, the authors also examine the duality in Malaysian industrialization between the import-substituting sector and export-orientated industries. Throughout, arguments and analyses are clearly presented and in many instances are supported by case studies, while the final chapter offers advice for future policy options.
