Abstract

ABSTRACT Malaysia’s 15th general election in November 2022 has produced a hung parliament and the second coalition government led by the multiethnic Alliance of Hope (Pakatan Harapan, PH) party. Self-styled as the ‘Unity Government’, the new government also contains the National Front (Barisan Nasional, BN) coalition which led the outgoing government, the Sarawak Parties Alliance (GPS), the Sabah People’s Alliance (GRS) and the Heritage Party (Warisan). Holding one-third of federal seats, the predominantly Malay-Muslim National Alliance (Pakatan Nasional, PN) coalition challenges the new government from an ethnic flank position. This article aims to put in context the evolution of coalition politics in Malaysia, as national coalitions proliferate and Borneo politics denationalise, and to revisit issues like consociationalism, party-hopping, policy competition, patronage and identity politics.

一个，两个，现在是几个:马来西亚联盟政治的演变

马来西亚于2022年11月举行的第15届大选产生了一个悬浮议会和由多民族希望联盟(Pakatan Harapan, PH)党领导的第二届联合政府。新政府自诩为“团结政府”，还包括领导即将离任政府的国民阵线(国阵)联盟、砂拉越政党联盟(GPS)、沙巴人民联盟(GRS)和传统党(Warisan)。拥有三分之一联邦席位的以马来穆斯林为主的民族联盟(Pakatan Nasional, PN)联盟从民族侧面挑战新政府。这篇文章旨在将马来西亚的联盟政治的演变放在背景中，随着国家联盟的激增和婆罗洲政治的非国有化，并重新审视诸如联合主义、政党跳槽、政策竞争、赞助和身份政治等问题。
