- catalog abstract ""This book is a comprehensive overview of politics in Singapore since its independence in 1965. The authors examine how this tiny island has developed into a global financial center, with one of the largest incomes per head, not only in Asia, but in the world. Its success has been due largely to the leaders of the party which has ruled it continuously, the People's Action Party. The party has coped successfully with the needs of a multiethnic population, claims for more extensive human rights, the nascent development of a civil society, and the problems of defending a small country in a turbulent region." "These key policies have been determined principally by Singapore's first two Prime Ministers, Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Chok Tong, and will be affected in the future by Lee's son, B.G. Lee Hsien Loong. All three personalities are here examined in depth. Mauzy and Milne also look at Singapore's response to its economic crisis, the elections of November 2001, and the challenges of the new century." "This study of contemporary Singapore politics will be essential for both undergraduate and graduate students of Asian politics, as well as being of interest to business people and diplomats concerned with the region."--Jacket.".
