Rule of Law in Malaysia: a developmental perspective

'Rule of Law in Malaysia' examines the way in which policies aimed at facilitating rapid economic development in Malaysia have helped to shape the structural environment in which the legal system operates. By focusing its analysis on the policies rather than the political actors, the book provides a unique view of how the nature and functioning of the political system in Malaysia has been the main determining factor of how the judicial branch strategically carves its own space for institutional independence within Malaysia's own version of democracy.
