Download or read book World Heritage and Urban Politics in Melakka Malaysia written by Pierpaolo De Giosa and published by . This book was released on 2021-07 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a tale of heritage politics in the Malaysian historical city par excellence. Already celebrated as the first Malay sultanate and an important colonial trading port, Melaka has been on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2008, on the strength of its multi-ethnic and multi-religious urban fabric. Yet, contrary to the expectations of heritage experts and aficionados, the global mission of safeguarding cultural heritage has become a tumultuous issue on the ground in Melaka. World Heritage and Urban Politics in Malaysia analyses how the World Heritage 'label' is being used by different actors- such as international organizations, nation states, and society at large- to generate new economic revenues and to attract investment for large-scale real estate development projects. In doing so, it reveals the complex and often contradictory stories behind heritage designations in urban milieus.
Download or read book Malaysia s State Formation written by Abdillah Noh and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tracing Malaysia’s political economy since 1800, Abdillah Noh argues that it has been substantially path-dependant based on choices made by the British colonial administration. Focusing mainly on two major groupings in Malaysia’s political economy – the Malays and Chinese Malaysians – Noh demonstrates that British policies engendered two processes. First, a less-than-full-retrenchment of Malay political dominance by preserving Malay de jure power and, second a less-than-full incorporation of new actors in Malaya’s political economy. Such decisions to preserve Malay de jure power alongside half-hearted measures at incorporating non-Malays’ economic and political presence created communities with mutually exclusive institutions that increasingly compete for access to political, social and economic resources. He thus reasons that Malaysia’s state formation - and the consequent consociational logic - is not a contrived act that was hatched at the point of its independence. Rather, it is the result of deep institutional processes that are centred on the idea of path dependence, self- reinforcement mechanism, timing and sequence. A valuable read for scholars of Malaysian history and politics, as well as for scholars of postcolonial state formation and public policy more broadly.

Download or read book The United States and Malaysia written by James W. Gould and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 1969 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume, a discerning examination of what might be termed Greater Malaysia, is the first comprehensive analysis of American-Malaysian relations and Malaysian foreign policy. A strategic geographic position and rich natural resources lend obvious importance to this region, which encompasses Malaysia, Singapore, and Brunei. But it is especially significant for its extraordinary political, cultural, and economic accomplishments. Achieving a peaceful transition from British colonies to independence, Malaysia and Singapore formed strong democratic governments and assumed an increasingly responsible role in the international community. The Malay, Chinese, and Indian residents of this area are a fine example of three communities of differing race, religion, and way of life existing together in harmony and cooperation. And the economic system, a successful combination of free enterprise and an extensive social welfare program, continues its stable development. Mr. Gould introduces his work with a geographic description of the lands, a lively ethnographic portrait of each of the three major racial communities, and a brief history of the numerous cultures that have had an impact on the Malaysian peoples. He then examines the governments of Malaysia, which have the problem of "creating a nation out of a multi-racial society in which communalism and local interests are far stronger than the sense of nationalism." Proceeding to the larger problem of establishing a Malaysian nation, he analyzes the forces promoting unity and disunity. Surveying Malaysia's economic progress, the author notes its dependence on the United States, the biggest buyer of Malaysia's rubber and tin, and he projects sustained economic growth. He then discusses Malaysia's regional and international relations, outlining those factors that influence its foreign policy. Concluding with a perceptive interpretation of the United States's connection to the area, he highlights the long history of friendship; the economic interdependence; the American commitment to help Malaysia maintain its political independence and further develop its viable economy; and recent aid and political relations.

This book was released on 1980 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the period 1970-80, nearly 10,000 jobs were created in the industrial estates of Malacca. However, multinational import-export firms in the Free Trade Zones dominate the industrialization process, and whatever advantageous regional effects there may be are limited. The conclusion reached in this paper is that spin-offs benefitting other rmanufacturing industries are more obviously felt in the Klang Valley Metropolitan Area outside Malacca than in the state itself.
Download or read book Tourism and Politics written by Peter M. Burns and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2007-03-14 with total page 505 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tourism and Politics aims to disseminate ideas on the critical discourse of tourism and tourists as they relate to politics, through a series of case studies from around the world written by specialists with an emphasis on linking theory to practice. That tourism is a profoundly important economic sector for most countries and regions of the world is widely accepted, even if some of the detail remains controversial. However, as tourism matures as a subject, the theories underpinning it necessarily need to be more sophisticated; tourism cannot be simply ‘read’ as a business proposition with a series of impacts. Wider questions of politics, power and identity need to be articulated, investigated and answered. While the making and consuming of tourism takes place within complex political milieux with multiple stakeholders competing for benefit, the implications are not fully understood. Literature on tourism and politics is surprisingly limited. This book will make a substantial contribution to the theoretical framework of tourism.

Book excerpt: Dennis Ignatius is an old friend and colleague who is an astute and articulate analyst and commentator on national affairs and foreign policy. Malaysia is today facing the most serious crisis in its history; Dennis is one of the brave Malaysians who is prepared to be objective in analyzing the sad state of our beloved Malaysia. To paraphrase Voltaire: It is dangerous to be right when the State is wrong. I hope Dennis’s thought-provoking articles will help stimulate debate and discussion about how we can all work together for a better Malaysia.- Ambassador Dato Redzuan Kushairi G25 In life, our biggest challenges relate to saying no to those whom we feel closest to. In matters of international diplomacy, the biggest challenge is speaking up for the country that you love and serve. Not only has Dennis Ignatius done this excellently for our nation-state, but, he has spoken out on many other matters of national interest, transcending the priorities of the public sphere. An excellent educational read! - KJ John Convener of National Congress on Integrity and Chairman of Board of OHMSI Dennis Ignatius dissects the Malaysian political landscape with a skeptical if emphatic gaze, borne of years of experience in the Malaysian Foreign Service. More than just a collection of essays, this book is a historical document by a professional whose clarity of purpose is evident from the very first chapter. - S. Thayaparan Commander (RTD) Royal Malaysian Navy
