  • Fighting for Human Rights
    Fighting for Human Rights In a world that is increasingly disillusioned with formal politics, people are no longer prepared to wait for governments and international institutions to act on human rights concerns. This book identifies civil society activism as a key means of realising human rights and as a new form of politics. Fighting for Human Rights documents and compares high-profile cam- paigns to cancel debt in the developing world, ban landmines and set up the International Criminal Court as well as campaigns that focus on democratisation, environmental justice, HIV/AIDS and blood diamonds. These campaigns aim to establish national and international agreements that will become the basis for processes of monitoring and enforcement. This book asks how this can be done, examines the strategies used, and discusses the crucial issue of how formalisation of agreements can be made a stepping-stone to implementation rather than an end in itself. This important work is an essential read for everyone interested in the pressing issue of upholding human rights and the assistance that civil society can provide. Paul Gready is a lecturer at the Institute of Commonwealth Studies, University of London. He has worked for the research department of Amnesty International, a number of human rights organisations in South Africa, and as a human rights consultant.

  • Privatization in Malysia: Regulation, Rent-Seeking and Policy Failure
    Privatization in Malaysia Regulation, rent-seeking and policy failure In recent years, privatization has fallen out of favour in many countries because the underlying political factors have not been well understood. This book examines Malaysia’s privatization programme, focusing on how political constraints resulted in the failure of four major privatizations: the national sewerage company (IWK), Kuala Lumpur Light Rail Transit (LRT), national airline (MAS) and national car company (Proton). It considers why developing countries such as Malaysia might want to embark on pri- vatization, the factors that lead to policy failure and what is needed to make it work. It shows clearly that political motives driving privatization often dominate purely economic considerations, and thus it is necessary to analyse privatization within the specific country context. It argues that failure in the Malaysian case was due to political considerations that compromised insti- tutional design and regulatory enforcement, leading to problems associated with corruption. It concludes that privatization does not necessarily improve incentives for efficiency or enhance the finance available for capital invest- ment, and that successful privatization depends on the state’s institutional and political capacity to design and manage an appropriate set of subsidies. Overall, this book is a comprehensive examination of privatization in Malaysia, providing important insights for understanding the political economy of this process in other developing countries.
