"Der Einsatz repressiver Sicherheitsgesetze durch die malaysische Regierung beeinflusste die moderne politische Geschichte Malaysias in nicht unerheblicher Weise. Dieser Beitrag analysiert den Einsatz des Sicherheitsapparates durch die malaysische Regierung seit den Terroranschlägen des 11. September 2001. Der Autor argumentiert, dass dieser Apparat im gegenwärtigen weltweiten Klima des 'Kriegs gegen den Terrorismus' größtenteils unverändert blieb, dass jedoch gleichzeitig Malaysias Einsatz von Gewalt von anderen (vor allem westlichen) Regierungen weniger kritisiert wird als früher. Eine mögliche Konsequenz dessen ist die zunehmend rücksichtslosere Vorgehensweise der Regierung gegen oppositionelle Strömungen. Als Folge des politischen Umschwungs nach der Wahl 2008 steht die Zukunft des Sicherheitsapparates jedoch in den Sternen." (Autorenreferat)... view less

"The Malaysian government's use of its repressive security legislation has had a significant impact on Malaysia's modern political history. The focus of the present article is on the government's use of its coercive security apparatus since the terrorist attacks of 9/11. The authors' argument is that the apparatus is largely unchanged by the current global climate of the 'War on Terror'. Notably, Malaysia's use of coercion has become increasingly less criticized by other governments, notably those in the West. Perhaps as a consequence, the government has become increasingly bold in its crackdowns against opposition elements. Following the political upheaval of the 2008 election, however, the future of the security apparatus is in question." (author's abstract)... view less
