"Malaysia’s 13th general election, held 5 May 2013, saw an unprecedentedly close race between the incumbent Barisan Nasional (National Front, BN) and Pakatan Rakyat (People’s Alliance, Pakatan) coalitions. For the first time in Malaysian history, a challenger coalition not only kept the BN from regaining the two-thirds parliamentary super-majority it had lost in the previous election, in 2008, but eked out a slim majority of the popular vote. While many Malaysian election is a big event, this one in particular merits close scrutiny. The present volume offers evidence and analysis with which to probe both the merits of common interpretations of who voted how, and why, and to suggest new readings on Malaysian politics."

"The main dynamics behind regional changes certainly do vary from country. Some, such as the advent of social media and the internet in general, are decidedly common ones. Others are more localised in character.In Malaysia, the breakdown of information control by central authorities, along with the urbanisation of the population, lies behind many of the changes.In short, the articles in this volume tell different sides of this longer process of changes, as mirrored in the 2013 general election."
