| dc.description.abstract | Biotechnology is one of the major technologies of the twenty-first century and in fact is the fastest growing sectors in the world. It is a fascinating field that has been identified as the next engine of growth for Malaysia, one that will deliver economic gains through research and development, creation of entrepreneurial opportunities for industrial growth, improvement of food security, health and environmental sustainability. Realising the important contributions of biotechnology to the country, this research seeks to examine the policymaking process of National Biotechnology Policy, which is aimed to provide a structured guideline in developing the industry. In the course of doing this, the study employs an integrated framework developed by combining Kingdon’s (1995) multiple streams model with Evans and Davies’s (1999) voluntary policy transfer network model to illustrate the policymaking events as a political process influenced by various policy actors and shaped by the developments of three distinct phases of public policymaking. Moreover, this study aims to add to the limited literature on public policymaking as well as on model testing, which has received relatively a little attention in Malaysia. This is a qualitative and exploratory case study research that employs triangulation approach for the purpose of data collection and data analysis. The major findings of this research can be classified into two. Firstly, policymakers in the developing countries like Malaysia often assume central roles in initiating, shaping and pursuing public policies. Secondly, a well mobilised policy consultants and policy network is important in ensuring a successful public policy development. Based on these research findings, the study has demonstrated the utility of the integrated model in explaining the process of National Biotechnology Policy formulation. | en_US |
