Description
This pioneering volume explores the political economy of Malaysia's post-colonial economy, examining the interface between economics and law. It reveals how economic policy initiatives have often been accompanied by legislative reforms aimed at creating an appropriate legal environment.
The authors show that economic problems or crises arising from earlier policies have led to major legislative innovations, demonstrating the complex relationship between economic development and the rule of law in Malaysia.
