Dr Noeleen Heyzer is the Institute of Policy Studies' 10th S R
Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore. This book is an edited
collection of her three IPS-Nathan Lectures, delivered in November
and December 2021, and includes highlights of her
question-and-answer segments with our audience.Dr Heyzer examines
how Singapore can continue to contribute to multilateral governance
amid 21st century global challenges. Highly dependent on
multilateral governance, Singapore has to engage the region and
contribute to the multilateral global order. Dr Heyzer highlights
the need for Singapore to build a mindset of 'solidarity as
self-interest', contribute to a normative future that is equitable,
inclusive and sustainable, and rethink our current multilateral
governance framework. What does a renewed multilateralism look
like? Can Singapore become an epicentre for this new
multilateralism? And critically, how can we secure our common
future and shape what we become as a nation?The IPS-Nathan Lecture
series was launched in 2014 as part of the S R Nathan Fellowship
for the Study of Singapore, named after Singapore's sixth and
longest-serving president. It seeks to advance public understanding
and discussion of issues of critical national interest for
Singapore.

Governments and NGOs (non-governmental organizations) in Asia face
critical development challenges. This volume examines ways to
improve the policy environment for NGOs in Asia so that they may
contribute more effectively to the development process. The
contributors identify the main factors which influence the policy
environment for NGOs, characterize and compare the political space
for NGOs, examine the roles that governments and international
development agencies can play in supporting NGOs, and propose
possible strategies and policy guidelines for improving
government-NGO relations in Asia.
This volume looks at the extent to which macro-planning and major
poverty alleviation programmes of the Asia-Pacific region
concretely benefit women, and thus provides a regional perspective
on the interrelationships of gender, economic growth and poverty.
The essays included here (a selection from papers presented at a
meeting on the subject in Vietnam) focus on issues related to the
interlinkages between macro-economic patterns and gender and
poverty situations, major approaches to gender issues and poverty
alleviation, and new possibilities to promote gender equity and
reduce poverty.
This book is about influencing, shaping and designing policies and
programmes that affect the international migration and employment
of foreign women domestic workers. It provides an overview and
synthesis of the causes, mechanisms and consequences of the trade
in domestic workers. It also traces the full cycle of international
migration, examining both ends of the migration process, from
sending to receiving countries. This book is intended as a
contribution to the shaping and designing of policies and
programmes that would improve the situation of women workers in
international migration. It will thus be of use to policy makers,
researchers, community and women's groups, international agencies
and migrant workers themselves.
