The implementation of meritocracy remains a guiding principle of the People's Action Party's (PAP) non-communist leaders who have governed Singapore since 1959. This article focuses on meritocracy, elected public officials and the PAP's recruiting to government a cohort from among Singapore's best and brightest. The success of the PAP, the world's longest-governing…

The concept of the developmental state was introduced by Professor Chalmers Johnson in 1982 to explain the economic success of Japan.2 The developmental state undertakes an active government role to promote national wellbeing in…
The anti‐secession law, framing, and political change in Taiwan
Beijing's Anti‐Secession Law (ASL) was promulgated in March 2005. Influenced by the December 2004 Legislative Yuan elections in Taiwan, Beijing's 2005 comments suggested the ASL was intended to increase peaceful interaction, not confrontation. Temporary, cooperative discussions early in 2005 between the People First Party (PFP) and President Chen Shui‐bian (DPP) are analysed as well as trips to the mainland by KMT leaders and the subsequent China…

This essay discusses the factors which led to the announcement, and some developments in Taiwan since mid-December. Events since recognition suggest that the pre-normalization ambiguity was a relevant variable in avoiding at least some dangerous international situations in East Asia. If not two Chinas, then one C…

Taiwan's Foreign Policy in the 1970s
A series of diplomatic-political setbacks in the early 1970s suggested that Taiwan -i.e., the Republic of China (ROC)would progressively suffer political isolation.The political isolation would lead to economic and cultural isolation, and the viability and independent status of Taiwan would draw to a close.A nadir of sorts occurred when the ROC walked out of the U.N. General Assembly on October 25, 1971.A motion to declare the expulsion of Taiwan…
