Michael Barr explores the complex and covert networks of power at
work in one of the world's most prosperous countries - the
city-state of Singapore. He argues that the contemporary networks
of power are a deliberate project initiated and managed by Lee Kuan
Yew - former prime minister and Singapore's "founding father" -
designed to empower himself and his family. Barr identifies the
crucial institutions of power - including the country's sovereign
wealth funds, and the government-linked companies - together with
five critical features that form the key to understanding the
nature of the networks. He provides an assessment of possible
shifts of power within the elite in the wake of Lee Kuan Yew's son,
Lee Hsien Loong, assuming power, and considers the possibility of a
more fundamental democratic shift in Singapore's political system.
