Singapore Struggle for Success
Author: John Drysdale
Publisher: Marshall Cavendish International Asia Pte Ltd
ISBN: 9814677671
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 465
Book Description
Singapore: Struggle for Success is the definitive account of the events that resurrected Singapore—events that continue to shape the life of every Singaporean. Within a single generation Singaporeans underwent an extraordinary transformation. During three decades of violence and instability, Singapore was nearly torn apart by foreign occupation, political upheaval and communist urban revolution. Yet today this island state is a haven of tranquility and one of the most prosperous nations in Asia. How Lee Kuan Yew and his political colleagues persuaded the British government in the 1950s to take a gamble with home rule; how they outwitted the Communist in the 1960s; how they transformed an underdeveloped, disparate Chinese, Malay, Indian and Caucasian community from a state of poverty and political unrest into a thriving, modern nation of the 1990s—this is the theme of this meticulously researched and very readable work. Explaining Singapore’s transformation, the author describes the dramatic events that brought about the very best and the very worst in the leading personalities of the time: honour and treachery, courage and cowardice, selflessness and venality

Employment Relations in the Growing Asian Economies
Author: Thomas Kochan
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 113480055X
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 351
Book Description
This book analyses the role of employment relations in the context of economic development in some of the key Asian economies: China, Hong Kong, India, Malaysia, the Phillipines, Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan. In recent years, these Asian economies have become increasingly more open and export-driven, and there is strong interest all over the world in the Asian economic `miracle' among practitioners and scholars alike. Although much has been written on this region, few books have concentrated on the human resource aspects of this growth. The authors build on the basic premise that the initial success of these countries has lain in low wages and suppression of workers' rights. However, they point out that as employment relations evolve enterprises will either pull out due to rising wages, or stay and prosper by adapting to higher wages. Cases are provided to illustrate both of these features. The evidence in the book suggests that unless a synergy is created between firm-level and state-level human resource policies in areas such as skill formation and workers' need for voice, economic growth is unlikely to be sustainable.

The Extent of Singapore's Investments Abroad
Author: Samuel Bassey Okposin
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 042979097X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 328
Book Description
First published in 1999, this volume explores extreme openness of the Singaporean economy to international trade through the role of Foreign Direct Investment in Singapore and Singapore’s investments abroad. It provides much valuable insight to how changes in the economic and policy environments impacted on the individual Singapore-based firms and their decision making processes. The book is particularly strong in the manner in which the firm level material is linked to the overall outflow of capital, the macro-level conditions and the established theoretical explanations for the export of capital. Samuel Bassey Okposin has four aims: to examine the causes of direct investment in Singapore’s economy, to investigate the motivation for Singapore firms to invest abroad, to explain overseas direct investment from Singapore and to examine Singapore’s overseas direct investment strategies, strengths and weaknesses, considering if the current trend of outward direct investment will continue into the new millennium.

Globalisation, Human Rights and Labour Law in Pacific Asia
Author: Anthony Woodiwiss
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 9780521628839
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 332
Book Description
Anthony Woodiwiss's pathbreaking book was the first substantive contribution to a sociology of human rights. In it, he takes up the question of whether so-called Asian values are compatible with human rights discourse and argues against human rights issues being the major obstacle to East-West co-operation. Dr Woodiwiss's sociological and post-structuralist approach to the concept of rights, and his incorporation of the transnational dimension into sociological theory, enable him to demonstrate how the global human rights regime can accommodate Asian patriarchalism, while Pacific Asia is itself adapting by means of what he calls 'enforceable benevolence'. His studies of Hong Kong, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Singapore highlight similarities between Pacific-Asian and Western societies and offer a positive view of the social forces obtaining in these territories.
