The Gender Politics of Global Economic Competitiveness in Southeast Asia

像马来西亚这样的国家面临着与澳大利亚类似的经济挑战——例如，面对来自低工资劳动力国家（特别是中国）日益激烈的竞争，保持经济竞争力，维持和加强有竞争力的ICT基础设施，以及建立成功和可持续的技术政策。批判性地评估妇女和家庭在马来西亚向知识密集型经济转型的过程中可以发挥的作用，必将为澳大利亚提供政策教训。

States such as Malaysia face similar economic challenges to Australia - for example maintaining economic competitiveness in the face of rising competition from low(er) wage labour countries (especially China), maintaining and enhancing a competitive ICT infrastructure and building successful and sustainable technology policies. Critically assessing the role that women and the family can play in Malaysia's attempts to transition to a more knowledge intensive economy will invariably open up policy lessons for Australia.
