Economic Change in East Malaysia
Author: A. KaurPublisher: Springer
ISBN: 0230377092
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 310
Book Description
An authoritative economic history of Sabah and Sarawak since the 19th century emphasising their distinctive colonial history and the attempts to modernise them since they became part of Malaysia in 1963. They remain dependent on the production and export of a relatively small range of primary products. The considerable scrutiny from environmentalists and international and local pressure groups of timber exports in particular is examined. The book's examination of economic strategy in these states since the 1880s, demonstrates that the roots of the problems in the 1980s lay in policies formulated in the wider context of capitalist economic growth.

Book Description
One of the major processes in modern Southeast Asian history has been the development of ethnically heterogeneous towns and cities. Kucing, an intermediate-sized urban center in Sarawak, Malaysia, is today an institutionally complex, predominantly Chinese city of 100,000 led by modern political leaders. Lockard's account of the development and growth of Kucing over 150 years devotes particular attention to the remarkable absence of ethnic conflict in the mixed society of Kucing.

Sarawak, romanticized as the Land of the White Rajahs until 1946, lost its independence, became a British colony, and then became a state in the Federation of Malaysia, all in the short span of seventeen years. This book attempts to provide some answers to the questions often raised in connection with this period of unparalleled change in Sarawak's history, a period which has largely been neglected by researchers.
