(Ebook) Malaysia’s Foreign Policy: Continuity And Change by Abdul Razak Baginda ISBN 9789833845088, 9833845088

Despite Malaysia's active role in the global arena, there is not much work written on the subject. This book may help to fill in the gaps in the literature of Malaysia's ties with the world and specifically, of Malaysia's foreign policy. It was edited by Abdul Razak Baginda, Executive Director of the Malaysian Strategic Research Centre (MSRC), an independent non-profit organisation whose primary mission it to promote knowledge on Malaysia and the region, covering areas such as political development, economic, national and regional security as well as social issues.Abdul Razak Baginda invited well-known writers to contribute to this book. As a result, its collection of articles touch on various aspects of Malaysia's relations with the world, including the economic factor in Malaysian foreign policy, its relations with ASEAN, Europe and Africa as well as its role in the United Nations. In today's world, economic and trade issues have come to dominate international relations. As a result, Malaysia continues to place its well-being at the core of its foreign policy and there are no indications that this will ever alter, as the country is very much part of the global system.
