Целью настоящей работы является изучение Малайзии в контексте постколониальных исследований. Во введении приводится обзор научной литературы в области постколониальных исследований, после чего анализируются проявления постколониализма в Малайзии: дискурсы, ценности и общественные настроения. Автором были выделены основные вехи эволюции внешнеполитического курса государства и проведен сравнительный анализ его реализации в разные исторические периоды. В заключении дается оценка современных тенденций, связанных с геополитическим противостоянием Китая и США в Юго-Восточной Азии. Главная мысль автора заключается в том, что процесс деколонизации Малайзии не завершен. Политическая элита сохранила некоторые колониальные инструменты для поддержания своего господствующего положения, а позднее государство оказалось втянуто в геополитическое соперничество между США и Китаем, которые разными способами стремятся к установлению доминирования над государством. С момента обретения независимости историческое развитие Малайзии не привело к формированию консолидированной нации, поскольку на него оказывалось иностранное влияние, которое способствовало расширению пробелов в национальном сознании и способах государственного управления.

The article dissects the case of Malaysia in the context of postcolonial studies. After an introduction to the aspects of postcolonial studies that are instrumental in analyzing the case, the article begins by exploring the postcolonial landscape of Malaysia, including the existing discourses, values, and the public sentiments they embody. It then highlights significant milestones in the country’s foreign policy and provides a comparative perspective on different periods. Finally, it assesses the most recent developments related to the geopolitical power struggle between China and the US in Southeast Asia. The article’s main thesis argues that Malaysia has not fully undergone the process of decolonization. Initially, the ruling political elite preserved some colonial instruments to maintain their own dominance, and later, Malaysia became entangled in the rivalry between the US and China, with both establishing neocolonial dominance over the country in different ways. Malaysia’s history since independence has not led to the formation of a cohesive nation, which has exposed it to foreign influence that exploits gaps in national consciousness and modes of governance.
