This collection of the essays that were presented at or inspired by the conference provides nuanced analyses of the development of the sector in Singapore since the Institute's first such conference held in 1998. The first section of the book discusses the different philosophies and approaches that underpin how civic activists engage with the State; the second section examines some key forces of change that are re-shaping the sector; and, the third section sets out some emerging issues facing it. Combining insights from experts and civic activists themselves, this book proposes an agenda for the future development of the civil society in Singapore."--Publisher's website.Civil societySingaporeSingaporePolitics and governmentSingaporeSocial policyElectronic books.Civil society300Soon Carol1075778Koh GillianInstitute of Policy Studies (Singapore)MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910163866403321Civil society and the state of Singapore2585587UNINA
