Singapore was ranked first for the competence of its public
officials from 1999 to 2002 by "The Global Competitiveness Report".
While research has been done on various aspects of public
administration in Singapore, there is to date no comprehensive
study of the Singapore Civil Service and the statutory boards and
their contribution to the attainment of national development goals.
The aim of this book is to rectify this gap in the literature by
providing a detailed study of public administration
Singapore-style. Public administration Singapore-style is
characterized by these features: macho-meritocracy; competing with
the private sector for talent; low level of corruption; reliance on
institutional and attitudinal administrative reforms; reliance on
statutory boards to implement socio-economic development programs;
effective policy implementation, improving service to the public;
and using policy diffusion to solve problems. The book's main
thesis is that the nature of public administration in Singapore
results from the combined influence of Singapore's policy context
and the various policies introduced by the People's Action Party
government since it assumed office in June 1959, 50 years ago.
