The Electoral System and Party Politics in Mahathir's Malaysia：（1981－2003）

[[abstract]]馬來西亞多族群的社會特徵，成為日後政治體制變遷的原因與動力，「馬來西亞聯合邦憲法」從國家最高大法的層面將馬來西亞的選舉制度固定下來，選舉型威權體制的建立成為馬來西亞「一黨優勢體系」形成的歷史合法性來源。 馬哈迪當權之後，執政長達22年，他歷經1982年、1986年、1990年、1995年、及1999年5次國會大選，每次均能帶領以巫統?核心的國陣贏得選舉並取得執政，其影響因素主要是執政集團對選舉制度的設計與操縱、馬哈迪的「領導者因素」以及族群政黨政治的痼疾。因此馬來西亞政治民主化進程的關鍵在於擺脫族群政黨政治的桎梏，改革選舉制度和宣導協和式民主。透過2008年大選，可以預盼馬來西亞未來政黨政治的走勢將朝「兩線制」方向發展。[[abstract]]Malaysia's multi-ethnic and social characteristics as the reasons for changes in the future political structure and power,“Malaysia's United State Constitution”, from the country's highest level of Dafa in Malaysia fixed the electoral system, electoral system, the establishment of an authoritarian model in Malaysia,“One-Party Advantage System”,the historical source of legitimacy.
