Description 詳情

Singapore appears to be transitioning to a more competitive democracy. But this masks the resilience of a ruling party that has proved itself adept at accommodating popular sentiment without significant democratisation or political liberalisation. What are the prospects of liberal-democratic reforms in a country that has long defied the predictions of modernization theory? How resilient is Singapore’s model of illiberal democracy? And will such reforms undermine the high state capacity that has long been a feature of Singapore?
