CSEAS Fridays at Noon Lecture Series: The Politics of the Middle-Income Trap: Comparing Growth in the Malaysian and Thai Rubber Sectors

Since the mid-2000s, there has been a proliferation of writings that describe the middle-income trap, prescribe policy solutions for it, and highlight the need for broad coalitions to implement such policies. Yet the fact that leaders have rarely carried out this advice suggests that existing analyses do not explain why there is a trap. This paper first offers a political explanation for the trap. It then explores the utility of this explanation with a comparative analysis of growth performance in the Malaysian and Thai rubber sectors, focusing specifically on public testing-research (PTR) facilities and vocational-technical education (VTE).
