Professor Tan Tai Yong is the Institute of Policy Studies' 6th S R
Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore. This book is an edited
collection of his six IPS-Nathan Lectures, delivered between
September 2018 and May 2019, and includes highlights of his
dialogue with the audience.In his lecture series, Professor Tan
examines how Singapore has evolved over its 700-year history as a
regional emporium, colonial port city and city-state. He shows that
Singapore's history is influenced by the recurring themes of
geography, movements of people, networks and globalisation. An
understanding of the twists and turns of this long history, and the
ways in which historical circumstances have shaped Singapore's fate
and fortunes, can offer important insights and a better
appreciation of our strengths and challenges as a city-state.The
IPS-Nathan Lecture series was launched in 2014 as part of the S R
Nathan Fellowship for the Study of Singapore. It seeks to advance
public understanding and discussion of issues of critical national
interest for Singapore.
