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.

期刊介绍：
Founded in 1910, The Round Table, Britain"s oldest international affairs journal, provides analysis and commentary on all aspects of international affairs. The journal is the major source for coverage of policy issues concerning the contemporary Commonwealth and its role in international affairs, with occasional articles on themes of historical interest. The Round Table has for many years been a repository of informed scholarship, opinion, and judgement regarding both international relations in general, and the Commonwealth in particular, with authorship and readership drawn from the worlds of government, business, finance and academe.
