The Limits of Authoritarian Governance in Singapore’s Developmental State
The Politics of Islamism
Malaysia’s breakthrough election
Malaysia’s Pakatan Haparan coalition unexpectedly defeated the Barisan National (National Front) coalition government in the May 2018 general election. This electoral breakthrough defied the predictions of seasoned political observers and leading opinion polls, bucked international trends in the direction of authoritarian resilience and political backsliding and overcame the advantages of gerrymandering, malapportionment and entrenched incumbency…
Electoral theocracy and hybrid sovereignty in Iran
Post-revolution Iran is uniquely based upon the contradictory principles of divine and popular sovereignty but with ultimate authority delegated to jurists. At the same time, the theocratic basis of clerical dominance is rooted within a pluralistic and decentralised theological tradition peculiar to the Shiite establishment. Despite the tutelary institutional arrangements engineered by the ruling clergy, elections have generated unexpected outcom…
Reclaiming Singapore's ‘Growth with Equity’ Social Compact
Singapore's long-serving People's Action Party (PAP) government suffered from a major electoral setback in the 2011 general election and subsequent by-elections. The high-growth population policy, underpinned by the influx of migrants and foreign workers, has strongly fuelled the groundswell of public discontent and is commonly perceived to have contributed to widening income disparities, wage stagnation, and cost of living pressures. This articl…
Introduction
The political trajectories in Southeast Asia are much more complex than neat theoretical models would suggest. In particular, the diverse experience of post-authoritarian states are far from linear – often moving forward, backward, and forward again, or stalling for a number of years. Political trajectories can thus be uneven and erratic, as exemplified by Thailand's military coups, graduating from hegemonic to competitive electoral authoritarian…

Governing Muslims in Singapore's secular authoritarian state
The governance of Muslims in Singapore has been strongly shaped by the secular authoritarian state's commanding influence over Islamic institutions, such as the main religious bureaucracy Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (the Islamic Religious Council), and reliance on draconian legislation, such as the Maintenance of Religious Harmony Act (MRHA), the Sedition Act and the Internal Security Act. Inter alia, these laws attempt to inoculate religion aga…
Islamic reformation discourses
Disputes over the outcome of the June 2009 presidential election in Iran rapidly developed into a contest about the legitimacy of the Islamic state. Far from being a dispute between religious and non-religious forces, the main protagonists in the conflict represented divergent articulations of state–religion relations within an Islamic context. In contrast to the authoritarian legitimisation of an Islamic state, the Islamic reformation discourse …
Singapore in the Malay World
Relations between Singapore and her immediate Malay neighbours have been perennially fraught with tension and misunderstanding. In making sense of this complex relationship, Lily Rahim explores the salience of historical animosities and competitive economic pressures, and Singapore’s janus-faced security and foreign economic policy orientation and ‘regional outsider’ complex. Focusing on Singapore’s relations with Malaysia, the book also examines…

Competing and Comparable Paradigms of Authoritarian Nation-Building 4. The Frightened Country and the Geopolitics of Insecurity 5. The Politics of Economic Competition and Cooperation 6.

Discursive Contest between Liberal and Literal Islam in Southeast Asia
The paper focuses on the impact of global Islamic revivalism and state Islamisation initiatives on the cultural practices, institutions and laws in Southeast Asia's Muslim majority states of Malaysia and Indonesia. In particular, the assault on adat and the reconfiguration of legal and political structures with the intrusion of Wahabi-inspired literal Islam from West Asia are considered. As the discursive contest between literal and liberal or pr…

The Singapore Dilemma
Singapore-Malaysia relations
Venice was something unique among nations, half eastern half western, half land, half sea ... between Christianity and Islam, one foot in Europe, the other paddling in the pearls of Asia .... Her vocation was commerce; her countryside was the sea .... her function was that of a bridge between east and west; her obsession was political stability ... Venice was a sort of police state, except that instead of worshipping power, she was terrified of i…
In search of the ‘Asian way’
Singapore and Malaysia are recognisably Southeast Asia's most impressive economic performers. Their economic achievements have been accompanied by the maintainance of relative political stability within a challenging multi‐ethnic social milieu. Not surprisingly, both nations have been widely promoted as models worthy of emulation for developing economies. Since the late 1980s, leading political elites in Singapore and Malaysia have been assiduous…
