Singapore Perspectives 2007: A New Singapore

Insightful foresight on Singapore's economic and social evolution.

If you're keen to understand the intricacies of Singapore's development, "Singapore Perspectives 2007: A New Singapore" dives deep into the challenges and policy considerations that were shaping the nation at the time. Not just a historical snapshot, this edition offers valuable hindsight on Singapore's unique responses to global issues, particularly useful for policy enthusiasts, academics, or anyone interested in the dynamics of small, globalised economies.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The Singapore Perspectives series is a yearly publication that provides critical analysis of emerging trends and issues Singapore faces in terms of social, economic and political development. It is a quick and essential reference for understanding the broad policy discussions that animate thought leaders, policy-makers and the public in the country during the immediate period or that are likely to do so in the short and medium term. This edition focuses on how Singapore will cope with the social impact of, first, the development of a dual economy and, second, the adoption of new communications technologies. There is a section on the political implications of an aggressive new policy to promote immigration as Singapore's response to the global competition for talent, and, finally, the future of regionalism and Asean. Co-published by the think-tank, the Institute of Policy Studies, Singapore, this is a useful publication for those with an interest in understanding the governance challenges facing a small, highly globalised economy and nation-state, or those who want a quick feel of the pulse of Singapore.
