Over the past two decades, Singapore has advanced rapidly towards becoming both a global city-state and a key nodal point in the international economic sphere. These developments have caused use to reassess how we understand this changing nation, including its history, population, and geography, as well as its transregional and transnational experiences with the external world. This collection spans several disciplines in the humanities and social sciences and draws on various theoretical approaches and methodologies in order to produce a more refined understanding of Singapore and to reconceptualize the challenges faced by the country and its people.
