For the first time in Malaysian history, a challenger coalition not only kept the BN from regaining the two-thirds parliamentary super-majority it had lost in the previous election, in 2008, but eked out a slim majority of the popular vote. While many Malaysian election is a big event, this one in particular merits close scrutiny. The present volume offers evidence and analysis with which to probe both the merits of common interpretations of who voted how, and why, and to suggest new readings on Malaysian politics."This team of well-coordinated young scholars has produced what is, without any argument, the best, most comprehensive and broadly based study ever of Malaysian electoral politics. With a common approach and format, their local case studies highlight not the 'wholesale' politics of broad national party strategy but the ground-level 'retail' promotion of local candidates. Malaysian electoral politics is local, these closely-focused studies show. Because voters wish to 'own' their local representatives, and they can own only those whom they know and can in some measure control. This is how fresh, young eyes see the familiar 'slog' of this country's ground-level electioneering. Thanks to them we now have a new base-line for future Malaysian electoral studies."- Clive Kessler, The University of New South Wales 606 $aElections$zMalaysia 607 $aMalaysia$xPolitics and government 615 0$aElections 676 $a324.9595 702 $aWeiss$b Meredith L$g(Meredith Leigh),$f1972- 712 02$aStrategic Info Research Development. 712 02$aInstitute of Southeast Asian Studies. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792401203321 996 $aElectoral dynamics in Malaysia$93777838 997 $aUNINA
