Singapore's existence and success derive in part from its success
in the domestic political arena and in part from the skilful
management of a well-defined foreign policy with clearly
identifiable goals and issues. A clear core of realist
self-reliance is layered with the demands of a competitive trading
state that requires a liberal international trading regime. Hence,
both competitive and cooperative philosophies underpin Singapore's
foreign policy.
In "Realism and Dependence in Singapore's Foreign Policy,"
Narayanan Ganesan charts the philosophical underpinnings of
Singapore's foreign policy output and the institutions responsible
for it and examines the importance of economic and defense
diplomacy that are central to Singapore's foreign policy output. It
gives particular attention to the two most important regional
bilateral relationships-with Indonesia and Malaysia-and how
relations with its adjacent neighbors have influenced Singapore's
foreign policy. Combing first-hand research with excellent
analysis, this volume provides a much needed report on the survival
of a small state in the globalizing world.
"Realism and Dependence i"is essential reading for academics in the
field of Asian studies and Asian foreign policy, and will be of
interest to scholars across a wide range of disciplines in the
region and the world.
