520 $a"The aim of this monograph is to analyze the present relationship between Malaysia, a Southeast Asian nation on the verge of first world status, and the United States, the world's only superpower, to show that unlike earlier years, it has evolved into a real partnership, with give-and-take on both sides. Malaysia's partnership role extends to its leadership positions in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean), the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), and the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC). The scope is a decade-long period that covers the main political, economic, and socio-cultural relations during the Prime Ministerships, in Malaysia, of Dr Mahathir Mohamad, Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, and Najib Tun Razak and the presidencies, in the United States, of George W Bush and Barack H Obama. This period merits attention as a new theme has dominated the relationship since September 11, 2001--counter-terrorism. Moreover, this period mirrors both nations grappling with enormous economic challenges-- Malaysia with efforts to achieve its goal of becoming a developed nation by 2020 and the United States with attempts to overcome its worst financial crisis and its deepest housing collapse since the Great Depression. To analyze the current bilateral relationship, the monograph is organized in five parts. Part I, the Introduction, sets the stage by summarizing Malaysia-US ties before 2000. Part II deals with bilateral relations during the first three years of the 21st century, from January 2000 to October 2003, which mark the last years of the Mahathir Administration and most of President George W Bush's first term in office. Part III then discusses the change and continuity in the bilateral relationship under Abdullah Ahmad Badawi, from October 2003 to April 2009, a period that overlaps the remaining years of the Bush Administration and the first few months of the Obama Administration. Part IV traces the main bilateral developments since April 2009, under Najib Tun Razak and Barack Obama, while Part V, the Conclusion, ends by assessing the overall relationship between the two nations and by discussing some prospects for the future."--Foreword.
