Running out of steam? Manufacturing in Malaysia
研究了发展中国家去工业化过程,以马来西亚为例,分析工业结构和技术能力如何受晚期工业化、全球积累变化和国内阶级形成的影响,并探讨马来西亚过早去工业化的证据及其成因。
This article examines the process of deindustrialisation in developing countries, looking at the case of Malaysia. It provides a framework to examine how industrial structure and domestic technological capabilities are affected by the wider challenges of late industrialisation, changes in global accumulation and domestic class formations. It discusses the emerging evidence of Malaysia’s premature deindustrialisation, and how this is the result of broader accumulation strategies that were primarily driven by internal factors related to the emergence of a Malay middle class and supported by changes in global accumulation processes related to the development of global production networks and financialisation.
