Book Description
Malaysia’s 40-year strategy of ‘poverty eradication’ has met with a great deal of success, yet has caused controversy for its links to ethnically-oriented social restructuring. This book is a critical evaluation of changing policy regimes affecting Malaysia’s development, record of industrialization, and efficacy in adapting social policies.
