La Roche Sociology Professor Publishes 'Malaysia in the World Economy'

Dr. Azlan Tajuddin, associate professor and chairman of the sociology department at La Roche College, has published a new book titled Malaysia in the World Economy (1824-2011): Capitalism, Ethnic Divisions, and “Managed” Democracy.

The 292-page book, uses Malaysia as a case study to explore the issue of why industrial development of a post-colonial society is seldom accompanied by a proportionate democratization of its political system.

Malaysia in the World Economy (1824-2011) critically analyzes the relationship between capitalist development and political economic culture.

Tajuddin is a graduate of political science and international relations from the University of Minnesota. He obtained a doctorate in sociology from the University of Tennessee and also has worked in both business and government. 

Malaysia in the World Economy (1824-2011) is published by Lexington Books, a wholly owned subsidiary of The Rowman and Littlefield Publishing Group, Lanham, Maryland. For more information, please go to https://rowman.com/ISBN/97807391719677,  or contact Azlan Tajuddin at azlan.tajuddin@laroche.edu.
