Singapore's existence and success derive in part from its
achievements 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 visible 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 support Singapore's
foreign policy. This text charts the philosophical underpinning of
Singapore's foreign policy output and the institutions responsible
for it and examines the importance of economic and defence
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 neighbours have influenced Singapore's
foreign policy. Combining first-hand research with excellent
analysis, this volume provides a much-needed report on the survival
of a small state in the globalizing world.
