"Constructing Singapore" studies Singaporean nation-building by
focusing on two processes: elite formation and elite selection. It
gives primary attention to the role that ethno-racial ascription
plays in these processes, but also considers the input of personal
connections, personal power, class and gender. It is a study of the
progress of Singapore's state-sponsored nation-building project to
its current state whereby a Singaporean version of Chinese
ethno-nationalism has overwhelmed the discourse on national and
Singaporean identity. Based upon archival research and formal
interviews, this study unpacks the culture of elite governance in
Lee Hsien Loong's Singapore today.
