Globalization exposes nation-states to both opportunities andchallenges. Singapore, an island country, moved from the process ofbuilding a nation-state to becoming a global city in the last decade of the twentieth-century. This meant increased migration of people at all levels of the economy to enable Singapore to remain a competitive economy. Though Singapore’s economy prospered, its citizens were beset by structural unemployment and increasing income inequality. The Singapore state responded with the twin solutions of maintaining a sustainable economic growth while complementing it with policies to manage inequality. The paper examines the policies that were created in the 1990s to capture the benefits of globalization and the years from 2000 to 2008 during which the entire Singapore population felt the full impact of thechallenges of globalization. The paper argues that the Singapore state must invest in its citizens to give them the hope of belonging to a nation to overcome the negative impact of globalization, a scenario in which a strong state like Singapore may survive while it flounders as a nation of hope-filled citizens. |
