Politics in Malaysia : the Malay dimension - Gomez, Edmund Terence (New York : Routledge, 2007)
This book explores the contours of the comtemporary landscape of Malaysian politics, focusing especially on politics among the majority ethnic Malay community. In particular, it explains why changes in patterns of political mobilisation and the rhetoric of the dominant parties-particularly the PAS and UMNO-have been so limited, despite the overt and growing dissatisfaction shown by Malaysians with the state of their political system and the ability of these parties to represent their interests. Overall, this book analyses some of most pressing issues in contemporary Malaysian politics.
