Abstract
Menerusi pengaplikasian teori "negara-dalam-masyarakat" yang diketengahkan
oleh Joel Migdal (1988), tesis ini mengkaji pendominasian masyarakat Bumiputera
Islam di Sarawak sejak lebih tiga dekad yang lalu. Dengan menggunakan beberapa
metod kajian seperti analisis kandungan, temubual dan survei, tesis yang mengandungi
Iapan bab ini distrukturkan mengikut tiga peringkat analisis yang berbeza iaitu nasional,
wilayah dan komuniti. Peringkat analisis yang pertama mengupas senario politik di
Sarawak dalam konteks politik nasional. Berdasarkan analisis ini, agenda negara untuk
mendominasi masyarakat Sarawak terutamanya masyarakat Bumiputera Islam betjaya
dicapai melalui strategi akomodasi yang digunakannya. Strategi ini menuntut negara
menjadikan kekuatan sosial, golongan inteligensia Bumiputera Islam, di Sarawak
sebagai alat untuk melebarkan kuasanya ke negeri ini.
By applying the "state-in-society" theory that was developed by Joel Migdal
(1988), this thesis analyzes the domination of the Muslim Bumiputera in Sarawak since
more than three decades ago. Utilizing several research methods, namely content
analysis, interviews and survey, this thesis with a total of eight chapters is structured
according to three level of analysis; national, regional and community. The first level of
analysis attempts to locate Sarawak politics within the larger context of Malaysia's
political system. In this analysis, it is argued that the central state's agenda of
dominating Sarawak's society in particular the Muslim Bumiputera has been made
possible through its use of the accommodative strategy. At the crux of this strategy is
the co-optation of Sarawak's social forces, the Muslim Bumiputera intelligentsia, who
have become the central state's tool of domination in the negeri
