The cases of Singapore and Switzerland present a fascinating
puzzle: how have two small states achieved similar levels of
success through divergent pathways? Are both approaches equally
sustainable, and what lessons do they hold for each other? While
Singapore is the archetypal developmental state, whose success can
be attributed to strong political leadership and long-term
planning, Switzerland's success is a more organic process, due to
the propitious convergence of strong industries and a resilient
citizenry. Yet throughout the course of their development, both
countries have had to deal with the dual challenges of culturally
heterogeneous populations and challenging regional contexts. Edited
by Yvonne Guo and Jun Jie Woo, with forewords from Ambassadors
Thomas Kupfer and Tommy Koh, Singapore and Switzerland: Secrets to
Small State Success features contributions from distinguished
scholars and policymakers who explore the dynamics of two small
states which have topped international rankings in a dazzling array
of policy areas, from economic competitiveness to education to
governance, but whose pathways to success could not be more
different.
