Description
Hard Choices: Challenging the Singapore Consensus The Singapore consensus is fraying, and with it, the assumptions that underpin the country's exceptionalism are no longer accepted as easily. This collection of essays explores the policy and political conundrums facing the government today, including how to respond to a more contested landscape. A radical rethinking of the country's policies and institutions is necessary, even if it weakens the consensus that enabled Singapore to succeed in its first fifty years. The authors examine the need for reform and propose alternative approaches to governance and economic development. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of Singapore's future, one that challenges conventional wisdom and invites readers to consider new possibilities for the country's development.
