The Ruling Elite of Singapore: Networks of Power and Influence

Michael D. Barr, "The Ruling Elite of Singapore: Networks of Power and Influence"
English | ISBN: 1780762348 | 2013 | 224 pages | PDF | 14 MB

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. He 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"" – designed to empower himself and his family. Barr identifies the crucial institutions of power - including the country's sovereign wealth funds, and the government-linked companies – together with five critical features that form the key to understanding the nature of the networks.
