The city-state's policy-making went against the grain in much of its practice of economic development. It ensured that energy products were bought and sold in the domestic market at essentially global prices, in contrast to the common practice in developing countries of subsidizing energy fuels for social equity. Without a drop of oil of its own, Singapore also managed to attract large foreign investments in the capital-intensive oil refining and petrochemical manufacturing sectors in an export-oriented strategy. This was at a time when governments of most newly independent countries were busy trying to promote heavy industry by protectionist trade policies and import-substituting industrialization. The purpose of this book is two-fold. It is intended to introduce a host of energy-related discussions relevant to a wider group of readers who do not 'do energy' for a living, yet are keenly interested in understanding the many complexities of modern industrial societies which need to balance economic, environmental, and security priorities of ordinary citizens. It is also meant to serve as an introductory assessment of key energy-related issues, with a particular relevance for small advanced countries such as Singapore. 606 $aEnergy policy$zSingapore 606 $aEnergy development$xEnvironmental aspects$zSingapore 606 $aPower resources$xEconomic aspects$zSingapore 607 $aSingapore$xEconomic conditions 607 $aSingapore$xEconomic policy 615 0$aEnergy policy 615 0$aEnergy development$xEnvironmental aspects 615 0$aPower resources$xEconomic aspects 676 $a333.790957 700 $aDoshi$b Tilak$01538491 712 02$aProject Muse 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796225503321 996 $aSingapore in a post-Kyoto world$93788545 997 $aUNINA
