Beyond national-level support in all three countries, the initiative had the support of state and provincial leaders in Johor and Riau, respectively.Now, however, the situation is markedly different. The Malaysian government and its Johorean equivalent have invested considerable resources in encouraging closer integration with Singapore. For its part, the Indonesian central government has been promoting special economic zones and export-oriented activities. However, the provincial government of the Riau Islands has turned away from export-oriented industrialization, preferring instead to promote cultural sub-nationalism and traditional economic activities such as fishing and small-scale farming. This development is counter-intuitive. Traditional fiscal federalism theory argues that decentralization encourages competition between provinces for investment, jobs, and growth. While Indonesia has undergone one of the world's most far-reaching decentralization reforms, Malaysia has pursued a consistent centralization campaign at the expense of state governments. Thus, we would expect the Riau Islands' entrepreneurial drive to be unleashed, and Johor's to be smothered. However, Johor's drive for capital is undiminished, while the Riau Islands' pursuit of investment has dissipated. This monograph will explore the reasons for this paradox.'This book provides a path-breaking analysis of how Johor and the Riau Islands have competed with each other for FDI from Singapore in the electronics sector. It sheds light on how the institutional and incentive structures facing these regions have encouraged or discouraged policy innovation and dynamism. The rigorous analysis of financial and investment data in this book provides a convincing challenge to the conventional wisdom that proximity and cost differentials inevitably lead to closer economic integration.' - Professor Shujiro Urata, Waseda University 410 0$aMonographs (Italian School of East Asian Studies) 606 $aDecentralization in government$zIndonesia 606 $aDecentralization in government$zMalaysia 606 $aIndustries$zMalaysia$zJohor 606 $aIndustries$zIndonesia$zRiau (Province) 606 $aInvestments, Singaporean$zMalaysia$zJohor 606 $aInvestments, Singaporean$zIndonesia$zRiau (Province) 607 $aJohor (Malaysia)$xEconomic policy 607 $aRiau (Indonesia : Province)$xEconomic policy 615 0$aDecentralization in government 615 0$aDecentralization in government 615 0$aIndustries 615 0$aIndustries 615 0$aInvestments, Singaporean 615 0$aInvestments, Singaporean 676 $a338.959 700 $aHutchinson$b Francis E.$01636864 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910822579403321 996 $aMirror images in different frames$93978345 997 $aUNINA
