Governance in Singapore (Hardcover)

Shows how different factions rival each other and build conflicting power bases; and how the governance system is very much at odds with the prevailing rhetoric about the need for independent and open institutions to ensure Singapore's continued success through promotion of the globalization of its service and knowledge industries.
This book is the first substantial empirical study of governance in Singapore since the 1970s and focuses on contemporary Singapore 1990-1998.
