The state of the 'state' in globalization: social order and economic restructuring in Malaysia

Article Abstract:

This article discusses the impact of neoliberal globalization and its effect on the relationship between the state government and the social order, and the consequences and conditions in which the ruling elite resist or ally with international capital. Malaysia is used as an example of the complex and contradictory manner in which social order is controlled; historical changes in the base of state power, methods of development, official manipulation of social identity all provide examples of social regulation of order that allows capital to accumulate while the state maintains legitimacy in multi-ethnic contexts.
