Author Description

The Singapore Perspectives series is a yearly publication that provides critical analysis of emerging trends and issues Singapore faces in terms of social, economic and political development. It is a quick and essential reference for understanding the broad policy discussions that animate thought leaders, policy-makers and the public in the country during the immediate period or that are likely to do so in the short- and medium-term. This edition focuses on the trends and possible surprises that may shape the social and economic landscape of Singapore in 2030, and provides scenarios of what Singapore might be like then. Featuring a chapter written by Mr. Peter Schwartz, a leading global futurist, other contributors include leading and younger academics and intellectuals in relevant policy areas. The book is unique in its forward-looking perspective, and will appeal to think-tanks, academics and general readers not only in Singapore, but in the wider Asian region as well.
