Industrialization Policies and Regional Economic Development in Malaysia

By Dean Spinanger

In this study, Professor Spinanger examines the strategies that have been developed for the industrialization of Peninsular Malaysia since its independence, tracing their evolution from the straightforward encouragement of foreign investment to the more sophisticated attempts to target more backward areas. The analysis concludes with an assessment of the impact of the policies adopted, along with some observations as to how certain imbalances might be corrected in the future.
