      The economic success of Singapore has established the country as a model for other nations. This volume outlines the policies the ruling party has adopted since the 1960s. It charts the government's move away from Western concepts towards the evolution of "Asian democracy". The author analyzes this anti-liberal democracy and the government's motives for repackaging cultural heritage into a national ideology of Asian communitarianism. It neither concentrates on a history of authoritarian repression nor unequivocally praises the regime but critically examines its political success. As such it provides a balanced account to the student of Singapore politics.
