This book explores to what extent China has drawn lessons from
Singapore, both in terms of its ruling ideology and through the
policy-specific learning process. In so doing, it provides insights
into the opportunities but also the challenges of this long-term
learning process, focusing attention to how non-democratic regimes
deal with modernization. The stellar line-up of international
contributors, from China, Singapore, Europe, and the US, offer a
variety of perspectives on Singapore as a model of "authoritarian
modernism" for China. The book discusses how the small Southeast
Asian city-state became a major reference point for China, how
mainland observers often misunderstood the nature of Singapore's
governance and instrumentalized it to bolster the CCP's legitimacy,
and why the Singapore model appears to be in decline under Xi
Jinping. The chapters also analyze policy-specific learning
processes, including bilateral mechanisms of policy exchange, the
Chinese "mayor's class" in Singapore, and joint industrial projects
and lessons in social welfare provision. The book will be of
interest to academics working on Chinese politics; development in
China; state society and economy in the Asia-Pacific; international
relations in the Asia-Pacific; and Southeast Asian politics.
