The Pacific Review Vol 27 No 3, July 2014, pp.433-455 (103)Summary: China is carefully studying the "Singapore model" of government to find ways of modernizing its own one-party-state system to make it more effective and more resilient to any calls for political change. The article suggests that while Singapore's experience offers many good lessons there are siginificant cultural differences between the two countries that may make it difficult to transplant ideas effectively. Also notes that increasing liberalisation in Singapore "seems to confirm earlier assumptions about the democratizing effect of modernization", a conclusion that is also being drawn in some quarters in China.
