This book was released on 2022-03-23 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues that there is nothing inherently stable, persistent or enduring about institutions. By examining the various issues facing the Malaysian bureaucracy and adopting an institutional analysis, this book brings the point that institutions are disposed to change because they are fraught with tension due to the quality of institutions. Using various examples, it explains that such tension and change dynamics can come from institutional resources, the manner in which resources are distributed to different actors, the varying power configurations among institutional actors and the larger political, economic and social environment that institutions operate in.Accordingly, in examining the various concerns of the Malaysian bureaucracy, this book highlights the typologies of institutional change and the inherent tension over resources that exist among actors that makes reform attempts, at times, potentially problematic but not impossible. New concerns in public policy and governance that are yet to be discussed widely in the Malaysian public administration literature are raised, including issues on collaborative governance, public service motivation and representative bureaucracy.

Download or read book The Divine Bureaucracy and Disenchantment of Social Life written by Maznah Mohamad and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-03-02 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the expansion of Islamisation within a modern and plural state such as Malaysia. It elaborates on how elements of theology, sacred space, resources, and their interactivity with secular instruments such as legislative, electoral, and new social technological platforms are all instrumentally employed to consolidate a divine bureaucracy. The book makes the point that religious social movements and political parties are only few of the important agents of Islamisation in society. The other is the modern and secular state structure itself. Weber’s legal rational bureaucracy or Hegel’s ethical bureaucracy predominantly characterises a modern feature of governmentality. In this instance an Islamic bureaucracy is advantageously situated not only within an ambit of modernity and therefore legality, but divinity and therefore sacrality as well. This positioning gives religious state agents more salience than any other form of bureaucracy leading to their unquestioned authority in the current contexts of societies with Muslim majority rule. One of the requisites of this condition is the homogenisation of Islam followed by ring-fencing of its constituents. The latter can involve contestations with women, other genders, ‘secular’ Muslims, non-Muslims as well as dissenting Muslims with their differing truthful ‘Islams’.
Download or read book Government and Society in Malaysia written by Harold Crouch and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Malaysian political system incorporates a mix of democratic and authoritarian characteristics. In this comprehensive account, Harold Crouch argues that, while they may appear contradictory, the responsive and the repressive features of the system combine in an integrated and coherent whole. Consistently dominated by the Malay party UMNO, which represents the largest ethnic group, the Malaysian government requires the support of its Chinese, Indian, and East Malaysian minorities to retain control. The need to appeal to a politically and ethnically divided electorate restrains the arbitrary exercise of power by the ruling coalition. As a result, the government responds to popular aspirations, particularly since a split in the dominant Malay party in the 1980s. Yet it also controls the electoral process, ensuring victory in all national elections. Communal, social, and economic factors have all contributed in rather ambiguous ways to shaping the Malaysian political system. Communal tensions, change in the class structure, and the consequences of economic growth have generated pressures in both democratic and authoritarian directions. The government has been remarkably stable despite sharp ethnic divisions and, Crouch suggests, it is unlikely to move swiftly toward full democracy in the near future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research examines the theory of representative bureaucracy and its application for increasing administrative responsiveness in light of the normative requirements of democracy. In theory, a representative bureaucracy implies an open public service whereby everybody has an equal opportunity to work in the service. In practice, however, having a represented and diverse workforce does not necessarily ensure that government officials will act in ways that are consistent with their backgrounds. Previous empirical research on this subject has found that descriptive representation is a weak predictor of substantive representation. The main focus of this study is to investigate the conditions under which descriptive representation can lead to substantive representation. To explore this question, I propose a model that integrates three classes of variables: administrators' backgrounds, roles acceptance, and administrators' behavior. The model is grounded on the premise that background factors influence the acceptance of roles, which in turn affects the proclivity of administrators to prefer policy decisions that are responsive to the needs of women and minorities. Therefore, I posit that substantive representation occurs when: (1) policy issue possesses a high degree of salience with respect to gender and ethnicity; (2) important actors hold expectations on an issue and in turn demand some level of substantive actions; and (3) administrators perceive their role as an advocate of women and minority interests, and hence make policy decisions that benefit women and minority groups. When these conditions are less than optimal, descriptive representation will not benefit historically disadvantaged groups. For the analysis, this study utilizes survey data from a sample of Malaysian higher civil servants as well as elite interviews among high-ranking senior civil servants, political leaders as well as business leaders. Using both qualitative (elite interview) and quantitative (survey data) techniques, the findings reveal that racial background has significantly influenced the formation of bureaucratic attitudes and behavior. Other personal and organizational factors do not overwhelm the effects of a representative role. The findings also lend considerable support for the relationship between roles acceptance and policy preferences. The evidence suggest that administrators who perceive their role as an advocate of female and minority's interests are more likely to support policies that benefit women and minority communities. Likewise, administrators who see their role in traditional terms are not likely to support policies that promote women and minority's interests. As a result, this study is able to provide a more complete understanding of representative bureaucracy concept in that it explains how, why, and under what conditions descriptive representation will lead to substantive representation of historically disadvantaged groups.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past two and a half decades have seen major transformations in public sector management and governance across the globe. This book examines the ways public sector management and governance in Malaysia has changed and is changing under contemporary reform models. Chapters are written by well-established scholars and academics with intimate knowledge in their respective fields, and provide a thorough and insightful analysis of the reform trends and developments on a range of topics. These include performance management, compensation reforms, public budgeting, accounting and reporting, privatisation and public-private partnership, e-government, managing ethics and accountability, local government and inter-governmental relations. While the book surveys the topics that are central to public sector management and governance, it also focuses on the nature of reforms and changes that were introduced, as well as the forces that have shaped their design and implementation process, and the initial impacts and results. Overall, the book provides students and scholars of Politics and Southeast Asian Studies with a greater appreciation and deeper understanding of the recent developments and current trends of public sector management.
