Air-Conditioned Nation Revisited: Essays on Singapore Politics
"Think of Singapore instead as the Air-Conditioned Nation—a society with a unique blend of comfort and central control, where people have mastered their environment, but at the cost of individual autonomy, and at the risk of unsustainability." Air-Conditioned Nation Revisited is an anthology of essays on Singapore politics by Cherian George. It draws upon his influential collection Singapore: The Air-Conditioned Nation (2000), on the country's politics of comfort and control, and from Singapore, Incomplete (2017), on its underdeveloped democracy. Updated for the impending transition to a new generation of leaders, this 20th anniversary edition of Air-Conditioned Nation offers critical reflections on continuity and change in Singapore’s unique political culture.
Parties and Politics
This is the first comprehensive study of Singapores political system and democratic culture with a focus on opposition parties. It discusses their roles, contributions and limitations within a PAP-dominated political system. The discussion is arranged in five parts introduction: Singapores political system and democratic culture; the historical context: Singapore politics before 1963; Singapores opposition parties: case studies; impediments to a viable opposition in Singapore; and conclusion: problems and prospects for opposition parties. Since the first edition was published in 2003, various developments related to the political parties had occurred and have been duly updated in this edition.
