Description
THIS BOOK is a compilation of proceedings from a conference jointly organized by the Malaysian Strategic Research Centre (MSRC) and the Malaysian International Affairs Forum (MIAF), held in Kuala Lumpur on September 29, 1993. The main objective of this conference was to address the Malaysian defence and foreign policies in the context of the country's vision of transforming itself into a developed nation by the year 2020.
We managed to gather speakers, both from the government and academia together, to address relevant issues pertaining to the subject matter. This book is the result of the majority of papers presented during the conference, which was well attended. The participants represented various sectors, including the international community in Kuala Lumpur, as well as from the mass media and private sector. To us, it was a successful conference, as it was one of the few conferences that have been organized to examine the challenges facing Malaysia defense and foreign policies leading to the next century.
