Keynote Speech by Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew at the Official Opening of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Singapore, Shangri-La Hotel, April 4, 2005, "Managing Globalization: Lessons from China and India"The conventional understanding of Singapore's foreign policy can be summarized in three main propositions: first, it is dictated by the imperatives of being a small state; second, its primary purpose is to ensure Singapore's survival, given its small size; and third, this logic of survival dictates a realpolitik approach to foreign policy and national security. This book argues that an exclusively realist view of Singapore's foreign policy is inadequate. Singapore's foreign policy is also shaped by the positive effects of economic interdependence and regional institution-building - instrumentsSingaporeForeign relationsElectronic books.327.5957Acharya Amitav480885MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910458133303321Singapore's foreign policy2453694UNINA
