Coles The Ruling Elite of Singapore: Leadership Beyond Lee at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Michael Barr explores the complex and covert networks of power at work in one of the world's most prosperous countries, the city-state of Singapore. Charting the creation of a national elite in the 1950s and its consolidation as the ruling elite in the 1960s, it argues that the contemporary networks of power are a deliberate project initiated and managed by Lee Kuan Yew- former prime minister and Singapore's 'founding father'. This updated and revised edition extends the narrative to consider recent developments and shifts in power since the death of Lee Kuan Yew in 2015. From the Lee-family feud to Lee Hsien Loong's prime ministerial succession and the inexorable rise of K. Shanmugam, this book considers what this means for the future direction, character and power structure of Singapore's ruling elite, and what the future might hold for this flourishing and affluent nation.
