PAS's Shift from Islamism to Development Diplomacy
Original: PAS’s Evolving International Engagement: From Islamism to Development Diplomacy?
Malaysia's Islamic party PAS is reported to be reshaping its international engagement, moving from a focus on Islamist solidarity towards what analysts describe as development diplomacy. An analysis published by Fulcrum examines whether the party's foreign outreach now prioritises economic cooperation and development partnerships over its traditional religious and ideological networks, and what that shift means for its political positioning.
Why now: Analysts are debating whether PAS's foreign policy posture is genuinely changing as the party seeks broader credibility beyond its Islamist base.
