Globalization and national autonomy : the experience of Malaysia / edited by Joan M. Nelson, Jacob Meerman and Abdul Rahman Embong. - Singapore : ISEAS, 2008 - xx, 353 p.

Looks at development in Malaysia covering economics, education, health care, public sector, trade, national identity, and the state's response to "Islamic globalization". Considers how Malaysia has handled these policy challenges and the contradictions inherent in being at once an international trading country and skeptical of the benefits of globalisation.
