Description

While Singapore is relatively small in size and population, its impact is considerably larger.

This rising financial center has evolved from its early days as an entrepot for Southeast Asia into the transport hub and export-source for the world that it is today.

More than this, it has served as a model for many developing countries, showing just how much can be achieved by hard work and intelligent policy even when there are almost no natural resources or other evident sources of wealth available. The Encyclopedia of Singapore focuses on the period since the island-nation's independence but also provides essential background on the country's history.

It includes brief entries on the leaders of the struggle for independence and economic progress and includes many cultural figures as well.

Other entries describe important places, institutions, and events.

In addition, there is a brief chronology and an introduction-to place events in their historical context-and a bibliography for any reader who wants to learn more.
