Thesis (Ph.D.)--Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, 2007.

This dissertation examines how religious values and belief systems were used in the political contest between Malaysia's two principal political parties: (a) The United Malay National Organization (UMNO), which holds governmental power, and (b) the Political Party Islamic (PAS), the country's strongest opposition movement. Using comparative analysis of movement documents such as manifestos, books, and papers garnered from the groups' periodic conferences and conventions, along with media reports from five major newspapers regarding four specific historical events, I examine the use of religious values and beliefs by each party as they frame ethnic and religious identity issues to facilitate achievement of their political goals and respond to shifting opportunities and threats.

520 $a This dissertation examines how religious values and belief systems were used in the political contest between Malaysia's two principal political parties: (a) The United Malay National Organization (UMNO), which holds governmental power, and (b) the Political Party Islamic (PAS), the country's strongest opposition movement. Using comparative analysis of movement documents such as manifestos, books, and papers garnered from the groups' periodic conferences and conventions, along with media reports from five major newspapers regarding four specific historical events, I examine the use of religious values and beliefs by each party as they frame ethnic and religious identity issues to facilitate achievement of their political goals and respond to shifting opportunities and threats.
520 $a Key to the comparisons are the shifts in religious framing that are fostered by historical events presenting opportunities and threats created by (a) the success of PAS in the general elections in 1990 and 1999; (b) the wave of protests in September 1998 that followed Deputy Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim's arrest under the Internal Security Act (ISA), providing an opportunity to PAS and a threat to UMNO; and (c) the aftermath of the attacks of September 11, 2001, which offered an opportunity to UMNO and represented a threat for PAS.
520 $a The study highlights the importance of comparative historical analyses to reveal how framing and counterframing efforts respond to political opportunities and threats. UMNO and PAS have engaged in framing disputes over religious issues and have framed the other's perspectives in ways that highlight differences and generate counterframes. The rhetoric of both parties evokes frame construction in contentious politics, in defining existing circumstances as unjust and constructing exclusive identities, and in fostering tactical differences for addressing political problems.
520 $a It was concluded that, under electoral threat, UMNO amplified its support for Islam, arguing that it had created an exemplary Islamic state. However, this opportunity for PAS led to the amplification of Islamic beliefs and values that could unite diverse religious and ethnic conditions.
