Synopsis:

Singapore's quick recovery from the recent economic crisis is attributed to its strong public policies. Included in this selection of essays are various policy options to improve its competitive edge in the 21st century. Policy issues discussed fall into four broad categories: ECONOMICS AND TECHNOLOGICAL POLICY includes an analysis of how the Singapore economy fared under the recent regional economic crisis and explores how it meets the twin calls of globalisation and regionalisation. FISCAL AND REGULATORY POLICY includes a discussion of current trends in government revenue and expenditure policy, and the country's regional role in containing land/forest fires in Southeast Asia. RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT AND MANAGEMENT POLICY discusses the issue among others, of the human resource and employment challenges Singapore faces in the context of the knowledge-based economy. EDUCATIONAL AND SOCIAL POLICY includes a description on how overseas education augments and complements local education in Singapore.
