{"product_id":"illusions-of-democracy-sophie-lemizure-9789462989887","title":"Illusions of Democracy: Malaysian Politics and People","description":"*Illusions of Democracy: Malaysian Politics and People* offers an up-to-date and broad analysis of the contemporary state of Malaysian politics and society. Transcending disciplinary boundaries, it offers a look at Malaysian politics not only through the lens of political science but also anthropology, cultural studies, international relations, political economy and legal studies touching on both overlooked topics in Malaysian political life as well as the emerging trends which will shape Malaysia's future. Covering silat martial arts, Malaysia's constitutional identity, emergency legislation, the South China Sea dilemma, ISIS discourse, zakat payment, the fallout from the 1MDB scandal and Malaysia's green movement, *Illusions of Democracy* charts the complex and multi-faceted nature of political life in a semi-authoritarian state, breaking down the illusions which keep it functioning, to uncover the mechanisms which really underlie the paradoxical longevity of Malaysia's political, economic and social system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sophie Lemière\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9462989885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789462989887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/27\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.49lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Sophie Lemière","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48137017131263,"sku":"9789462989887","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5876b0bb-caa3-4d8b-9a0a-7ce133f7215e.jpg?v=1770165988","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/illusions-of-democracy-sophie-lemizure-9789462989887","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
