2018년 5월 9일, 61년간 지속되던 말레이시아 집권연합인 국민전선(BN, Barisan Nasional)이 출범 2년차에 불과하던 야당연합인 희망연합(PH: Pakatan Harapan)에 의해 전격적으로 교체되었다. 총선에 출마했던 당사자들 조차 예측하지 못한 야당의 압승이었기에 1957년 독립 이후 최초로 이루어진 정권교체는 그야말로 순식간에 일어났다고 해도 과언이 아니다. 2018년 총선 에서 BN의 패배는, 북한과 중국을 제외하고, 현존하는 현대정치체제 중에서 가장 오랫동안 지속되었던 패권적 집권세력의 몰락을 의미하였기에 세계적인 관심을 주목시켰다. 더욱이 이번 총선은 야권의 분열로 말미암아 1998년 개혁 정국(reformasi) 이래 꾸준히 성사되었던 여야 간 일대일 대결이 무산되면서 모든 선거구에서 단일 여당 후보와 복수 야당 후보 간의 경선으로 치러졌기 때문 에 그 결과는 더욱 놀랍고 충격적이었다. 도대체 어떻게 이런 결과가 일어날 수 있었는가? 특히 20년 가까이 지속된 야권의 공조에도 요원했던 정권교체가 야권의 분열에도 불구하고 이번 선거에 서 달성될 수 있었던 동인은 무엇인가? 2018년 총선 결과는 말레이시아의 정치변동과 민주화 가능성에 어떠한 정치적 함의를 제공하는가? 앞으로 말레이시 아 정국은 어떤 방향으로 전개될 것인가? 이에 대한 해답을 찾는 과정에서 1998년 개혁정국이 조성된 이후 치러진 련의 총선들이 말레이시아 정가에서 “쓰나미(tsunami)”의 연속에 빗대어 비유 되는 경향이 있음에 주목할 필요가 있다. 이런 쓰나미의 연속이라는 현상은, 비 록 학계와 시민사회의 말레이시아 전문가들은 물론이고 정부여당과 야권 내부에서 조차도 이번 총선에서의 정권교체 가능성을 예견한 사람은 거의 없었지만, 이번 총선에서의 정권교체가 갑자기 일어난 것이 아니라 지난 20년 간 지속된 말레이시아 유권자들의 선거를 통한 정치변동의 열망과 기대가 축적된 결과라는 것을 의미한다. 이런 맥락에서, 이 연구는 2018년 총선 결과를 분석함에 있어서 독립 이후 최초로 정권교체가 달성될 수 있었던 특수한 상황적 요인과 함께, 1998년 개혁정국에 의해 촉발된 선거정치의 활성화가 결국 선거 권위주의 체제의 붕괴로까지 귀결될 수 있었던 역학관계에 주목한다.
Abstract
On May 9, 2018, regime change took place in Malaysia. It was the first regime change that took place in 61 years after independence in 1957. The regime change was an unexpected result not only in Malaysian experts but also in political circles. Moreover, the outcome of the election was more shocking because the opposition party was divided in this general election. The regime change in Malaysia was enough to attract worldwide attention because it meant the collapse of the oldest regime in the modern political system that exists, except North Korea and China. How could this have happened? In particular, how could the regime change, which had not been accomplished despite opposition parties' cooperation for almost 20 years, could be achieved with the divided opposition forces? What political implications does the 2018 general election result have for political change and democratization in Malaysia? How will the Malaysian politics be developed in the aftermath of the regime change? It is worth noting that during the process of finding answers, a series of general elections since the start of reformasi in 1998 tended to be likened to a series of "tsunami" in the Malaysian electoral history. This phenomenon of tsunami means that, even though very few predicted the possibility of regime change among academia, civil society and political circles, the regime change was not sudden. In other words, the regime in 2018 was the result of the desire and expectation of political change through a series of elections of Malaysian voters last 20 years. In this context, this study, in analyzing the results of the election in 2018, shows that the activation of electoral politics triggered by the reform movement in 1998, along with the specific situational factors in 2018, could lead to collapse of the ruling government for the first time since independence.
