Applying the Singapore Model in Cambodia and Thailand? Implications for Transnational Policy Transfer
The dominant narrative has traditionally framed the Global North as the source of effective political and economic development, with knowledge and expertise flowing unidirectionally to the Global South. However, the rise of the Global South has fostered institutionalized South‒South exchanges, enabling nations to move beyond aid‐recipient roles and engage in mutual learning. This article expands the discourse on policy transfer by examining Singa…
Introduction: Agile governance for a volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous world
This special issue on ‘Governing a VUCA World’ aims to contribute to ongoing endeavours in expanding the practices and theories of governance by bringing in perspectives and case studies from the Global South at a time of great turbulence and uncertainties. It hopes to further advance discussions pertaining to various aspects of Asian experiences of governance in developing a model of transnational governance that embraces agility and flexibility…
The Dynamics of Governance and Sustainable Development Goals in the Global South
This special issue on ‘The Dynamics of Governance and Sustainable Development Goals in the Global South’, with a focus on the ‘Asian Models of Governance’, aims to fill the gap by contributing to expanding and advancing the transnational knowledge transfer literature by bringing new cases from the Global South. It also hopes to further advance the discussions translating some aspects of Asian experiences of governance in developing an outcome‐dri…
Knowledge Transfer in the Global South: Reusing or Creating Knowledge in China’s Special Economic Zones in Ethiopia and Cambodia
Chinese special economic zones (SEZs) have played a key role in attracting massive foreign investment and in facilitating knowledge and technology transfer to local companies. This explains the mushrooming of Chinese‐led SEZs and industrial parks in parts of Southeast Asia and Africa since the early 2000s, and more recently its prominence in the planning of the economic corridors along the Belt and Road Initiative. Our interest in SEZs derives fr…
The Role of Policy Labs in Policy Experiment and Knowledge Transfer: A Comparison across the UK, Denmark, and Singapore
Policy labs have been increasingly used to generate scientific evidence and political momentum to boost policy experiments, but our understanding of the conditions for knowledge creation and transfer through policy experiments in the labs is scarce. This paper compares the UK’s Cabinet Office’s Behavioral Insights Team (BIT), Denmark’s the Danish MindLab, and Singapore’s the Human Experience Lab (THE Lab) to identify their similarities and differ…
The leadership of balancing control and autonomy in public sector networks: The case of Singapore
This empirical qualitative study based on two inter-organizational networks in the Singapore public sector contributes to the network management and public sector leadership literatures by examining leadership of the coordinating units through the studying of structures and processes within the four cases. Paying attention to how network leaders engage in inward work ‘in the spirit of collaboration’ to build network community and at the same enga…
The changing dynamics of policy experiment in Singapore: Does the 2011 General Election Make a Difference
The city-state of Singapore is proactive in harnessing policy experimentation to incubate innovations, transfer knowledge and facilitate collaborations across different public sectors. Given the country's strong knack for pragmatism, international practices and lessons are usually first tested and adapted in policy experiments before scaling up to nationwide policies. Singapore's practice of policy experimentation, however, has also demonstrated …
