Social Movements in Malaysia: From Moral Communities to NGOs by Saliha Hassan (E

Description: Social Movements in Malaysia by Saliha Hassan, Meredith Weiss Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This work considers the proliferation in Malaysia since the 1980s of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) associated with various social movements, both to provide basic information about the NGOs and social movements, and to discuss their role in the development of civil society generally. Publisher Description This volume describes and analyses several of the most important social movements in contemporary Malaysia. Contemporary Malaysian non-governmental orgnanisations (NGOs) have evolved over the years into significant actors in Malaysian politics and society. The Reformasi movement that began in the late 1990s proved the potency of some of these movements, as civil society came to play a more critical political role. Shifts in the organisational manifestations of social movements have reflected Malaysians changing perceptions of the place, nature, and function of civil society in the polity. Included in this collection of essays are discussions of Malaysian movements organised around womens rights, the environment, human rights, global peace, Islam, and the rights of indigenous peoples. The contributors trace the historical roots of the movements as well as of the legal framework in which they operate. These groups face particular constraints posed by Malaysias political and economic environment as well as organisational weaknesses.However, it is argued that they have still managed to find innovative ways to network and lobby for shared goals and have had a real impact on a range of government policies and popular attitudes.
