The Good Fight

CHAPTER

Racial Integration and Political Dynamics in Singapore

This chapter explores Singapore's unique housing policies aimed at promoting racial integration while preventing racial ghettos, as well as the complexities of identity in a multicultural society. It critiques the political landscape of Singapore, addressing the dominance of the ruling party and the implications of laws that suppress dissent, which contribute to minimal political engagement among citizens. Additionally, the chapter examines modernization theory in relation to economic growth and its effects on political freedoms, using Singapore and China as case studies.
