Democratization and Civil Society in Malaysia
Since the emergence of the Reformasi movement in the late 1990s civil society has had a strong impact on political developments in Malaysia. The creation of a comprehensive coalition of opposition parties and its cooperation with different civil society organizations ushered in the 2018 electoral landslide and the fall of the ruling coalition led by UMNO (United Malays National Organization). Yet, subsequent power constellations have been marked by tumultuous political shifts under three prime ministers. In this lecture, the transition in recent years is analyzed with a focus on political opposition and civil society actors including those promoting autocratization.
PD Dr. Andreas Ufen is Senior Research Fellow at the GIGA Institute for Asian Studies. He focuses on political developments in Southeast Asia, especially in Indonesia and Malaysia.
