Kenneth Paul Tan

Governing Global-City Singapore

Legacies and Futures After Lee Kuan Yew

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a detailed analysis of how governance in Singapore has evolved since independence to become what it is today, and what its prospects might be in a post-Lee Kuan Yew future. The state struggles, in increasingly complicated conditions, to maintain its hegemony while securing a pre-eminent position in the global economic order. Tan demonstrates how a range of trends converge in ways that signal plausible futures for a post-LKY Singapore.
