Lim Kim San: A Builder of Singapore
ISBN: 9789812309280 / Angielski / Twarda / 2009 / 284 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Lim Kim San's name is linked inextricably to Singapore's public housing. This is entirely appropriate because he played a crucial role in the success of the Housing Board, which transformed both the country's physical landscape and gave Singaporeans a tangible stake in the future of their young nation. However, important though Lim's role was at the Board and as Minister for National Development, it was not his sole contribution to Singapore. He made a decisive difference in several other key areas, including Finance, and Interior and Defence. This biography draws on Lim's Oral History...

The Life and Times of Gerald de Cruz: A Singaporean of Many Worlds
ISBN: 9789814620680 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Gerald de Cruz's life overlapped many of the spheres of Singapore's history after World War II. As a Eurasian, a nationalist, a communist and then a democratic socialist, as a journalist and a writer, he represents the insurgent energies of a truculent time when a nascent nation was seeking the basis of statehood. His commitment to progressive ideas and movements reveals a man of integrity in search of himself in a better world. This book seeks to portray his place in time, particularly for younger Singaporeans who did not live in an era that has inaugurated the history of independent...

Three Sides in Search of a Triangle: Singapore-America-India Relations
ISBN: 9789812308856 / Angielski / Twarda / 2008 / 213 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Singapore is America's closest security partner in Southeast Asia. The United States has decided to help India become a major world power in the 21st century, an objective that is furthered by the nuclear agreement between them. Singapore's relationship with India is an increasingly pertinent feature of Southeast Asias political and strategic landscape. Whether these three realities, taken together, lay the basis of a triangular relationship among Singapore, America, and India is the question that this book seeks to answer. The book begins with a review of the notion of Pax Americana and goes...

Between Rising Powers: China, Singapore and India
ISBN: 9789812304148 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 344 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Geography has moulded Singapore's self-definition, much as it has shaped the contours of the rest of Southeast Asia, a region that lies south of China and east of India. Placed within overlapping Sinic and Indic zones, Singapore's entrepot role has served both. Today, as China and India emerge simultaneously as rising powers, a port city is going beyond its trading role to engage them in political and security terms. This book combines diplomatic history and international relations theory to show how Singapore is facilitating China's and India's engagement of Southeast Asia."

George Yeo on Bonsai, Banyan and the Tao
ISBN: 9789814518697 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 812 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. George Yeo's 1991 speech on pruning the banyan tree of the Singapore state, a political canopy under which nothing could grow, heralded an era of activism by civil society, which had hitherto been seen as a threat to the dominance of the PAP state. The ministerial speeches by Yeo - an indefatigable writer - are distinguished by his deep and clear thinking about the place of democracy in good governance. Yeo is what may be called a liberal conservative. An iconic product of Singapore's meritocratic but authoritarian system, he was a political conservative, believing in the need for...

Asia and Europe: Essays and Speeches by Tommy Koh
ISBN: 9789810244125 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Asia's and Europe's rediscovery of each other dates back to some thousands of years ago, and has undergone tremendous transformation. Their engagement was coloured by the history of colonialism, and interrupted by the heat of the Cold War. However, an important step to chart an equal partnership and deepen engagement was taken with the launch of the Asia-Europe Meeting (ASEM) in March 1996. ASEF appeared the following year as the most concrete manifestation of this newfound engagement, and as an attempt to widen the contours of Asia-Europe's relations.
