Civil society and voters, especially in urban areas, are making new and strong demands on the government, in fact on governance per se; the opposition parties that managed to pull off successful electoral upsets in 2008 have formed a viable coalition to challenge the long-term federal government; and the federal government itself has been trying to adopt a reformist image without alienating its numerous conservative supporters. Although the government's slogan of 1Malaysia was meant to signify national unity, it lacked credibility because many of the systemic deficiencies of sustained one party - 1Party - rule still remained. This collection of articles studies various aspects of change now pushed into the foreground for discussion. 606 $aPolitical culture$zMalaysia 606 $aPolitical parties$zMalaysia 607 $aMalaysia$xPolitics and government 615 0$aPolitical culture 615 0$aPolitical parties 676 $a959.5054 700 $aOoi$b Kee Beng$01121203 712 02$aInstitute of Southeast Asian Studies, 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910970270703321 996 $aDone Making Do$93973051 997 $aUNINA
