Nearly everyone knows that Singapore has one of the most efficient governments and competitive advanced economies in the world. But can it also serve as a model for other advanced economies as well as for the emerging world? Respected East Asia expert Kent Calder provides clear answers in his new, groundbreaking book that looks at how Singapore's government has harnessed information technology, data, and a focus on innovative, adaptive governance to become a model smart city, smart state.
