21-Seiki Tonan Ajia no Kyoken Seiji: "Sutoronguman" Jidai no Torai [21st century authoritarian politics in Southeast Asia: the arrival of the "strongman" era]: by Ayako Toyama, Wataru Kusaka, Tsukasa Iga, and Ken Miichi, Tokyo, Akashi Shoten, 2018, 257 pp., JPY 2,860 (including tax) (paperback), ISBN 978-4-750-34663-21

Chapter 4 (Tsukasa Iga) focuses on Najib in Malaysia, who became the prime minister in 2009, after the 2008 general election when the ruling National Front coalition suffered a major setback. Iga attributes Najib's authoritarian governance to the concentration of power in the prime minister and the fragmentation of opposition parties. Notably, the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, has attracted the greatest attention, but the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan or Hungarian prime minister, Viktor Orban can also be seen as such examples.
