What are the prospects for political liberalization in Singapore? This article considers the question within a broad theoretical framework which says that industrialization creates conditions necessary for democracy. Singapore is a wealthy society and a developed country and, therefore, one might expect to see the end of its authoritarian regime. However, the article will suggest that Singapore is unlikely to become a democracy in the near future; it illustrates how the country's economic structure, identity, location, and smallness, all favour the maintenance of authoritarianism as the likely political regime for the near future
