This book examines Singapore’s culture of control, exploring the city-states colonial heritage as well as the forces that have helped to mould its current social landscape. Taking a comparative approach, Trocki demonstrates the links between Singapore’s colonial past and independent present, focusing on the development of indigenous social and political movements. In particular, the book examines the efforts of Lee Yew Kuan, leader of the Peoples Action Party from 1959 until 1990, to produce major economic and social transformation. Trocki discusses how Singapore became a workers p

A compilation of four essays that present a different approach to the study of politics in Southeast Asia.

They examine the electoral process, conflicts between the center and local governments, conflicts between individual freedom and state power, and the corruption, violence, and criminal mindset of local politicians. Essayists include Patricio N. Abinales (’Muslim’ Political Brokers and the Philippines Nati

Their aim is not to examine Wittgenstein’s personal moral convictions but rather to explore how a d
