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. In this volume, contributors take an in-depth look at four topics of pertinent interest to Singapore's mid- to long-term future and offer some radical ideas for Singaporeans' consideration. Contributors include Member of Parliament Inderjit Singh, playwright and law academic Eleanor Wong, and former president of the Law Society of Singapore Philip Jeyaretnam. 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 globalized economy and nation-state, or those who want a quick feel of the pulse of Singapore.
