Governance in Singapore
by Ross Worthington
Category: Political Science

"Singapore Inc. prides itself on, and is widely admired for, its economic success and material prosperity. However, its system of governance is poorly understood and is regarded by some observers as being incompatible with its capitalist economic policies, especially those linked to the new economy. Based on extensive original research, including in-depth interviews with public sector officials and employees of government-linked companies, this book provides detailed information and analysis about the peculiarities of the elitist and highly controlled system of governance, and about how the elite conducts and controls policy."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
