The Flip Side of Housing as Social Right of Citizenship
In the current context of severe urban housing shortages globally, the issue of housing as social right, enfolded into right to the city, tends to emphasize citizens’ demand from the state to the neglect of citizens’ obligations and responsibilities to the state.

Desiring political opposition beyond Covid-19 pandemic in Singapore
Beginning in January 2020, the world has struggled to contain COVID-19 pandemic. Initially lauded as the "gold standard" for containment of the pandemic, Singapore was suddenly confronted with a massive outbreak of infection in the migrant worker dormitories. To date, migrant workers accounted for 95 percent of the almost 60,000 infected, while outside the dormitories infection was relatively well-contained and overall extremely low fatalities. A…
On possible transformation of everyday life in North Korea via referencing other East Asian socialist nations in transition
Without direct fieldwork access, one can nevertheless imagine what possible changes can happen in the everyday life of North Koreans, by references with conditions elsewhere in East Asia which resonates with current conditions in North Korea. First, the division between North and South Korea can be referenced with the other instances of nations divided by a communist and a capitalist regime; namely, the present China and Taiwan and the previous N…

Structure, Audience and Soft Power in East Asian Pop Culture
The emergence of East Asian Pop Culture as an integrated regional media cultural economy is a result of the penetration of Japanese and Korean pop cultures into the historically well established distribution and exhibition networks of Chinese languages pop culture in locations where ethnic-Chinese constitutes the majority population; namely, Taiwan, Hong Kong, the People’s Republic of China and Singapore. Regionalization has produced transnationa…
A Framework for Audience Study of Transnational Television
In the past two decades, television in East Asia has become progressively integrated to constitute a regional cultural economy juxtaposed against the programs imported from the globally dominant US. In terms of popular reception, audience formation, and attendant social and political process, East Asian television programs have far greater regional impact than their US counterpart. Consequently East Asia television audience reception research has…

Elections as Popular Culture in Asia
Conventional political science depicts legitimate elections as rational affairs in which informed voters select candidates for office according to how their coherently presented aims, ideologies and policies appeal to the self-interest of the electorate. In reality elections, whether in first world democracies, or in the various governmental systems present in Asia, can more realistically be seen as cultural events in which candidates’ campaigns …

Communitarian Ideology and Democracy in Singapore
The economic success of Singapore has established the country as a model for other nations. Yet until now the ideas behind this accomplishment have not been critically examined.
