Malaysia's Development Challenges : Graduating from the Middle Paperback / softback
Edited by Hal Hill, Tham Siew Yean, Ragayah Haji Mat Zin
Part of the Routledge Malaysian Studies Series series
Paperback / softback
Description
This book examines the various economic, political and developmental policy challenges that Malaysia faces in her shift from a middle income to high-income economy.
This issue is of great interest to academics, policy makers and development practitioners in the developing world, particularly in middle-income economies where there is a widespread concern about the challenges of managing such a transition.
Malaysia is one of the developing world's greatest success stories.
The book argues that as one of the developing world's most open economies, with a reputation for prudent macroeconomic management, Malaysia has achieved consistent growth since independence.
It has moved from a largely resource-based economy to a multinational-led, export-oriented, industrial economy.
Despite this success, Malaysia, like other developing countries, is currently at a crossroads in its development strategy; it is in danger of being unable to graduate to the level of more advanced economies - such as Korea, Taiwan and Singapore - but with the basis of its success at risk from competition from efficient, lower-wage countries - such as China, India and Vietnam.
Moreover, there are new threats to the political stability and affirmative action programmes which have successfully held together a very racially diverse population.
