The collection of papers in this volume present the initial findings of a research project to test H.W. Richardson's polarisation reversal hypothesis, using Malaysia as a case study. The concept of polarization reversal is discussed and the basic features of development and economic policy in Malaysia are examined. Long-term changes in spatial disparaties and industrial location patterns are then analysed. An attempt is made in the final chapter to identify the factors limiting industrialization in Kelantan, a federal state with a peripheral location.
