Singapore Is Still Not An Island: More Views on Singapore Foreign Policy


Publisher: Straits Times Press
S$32.11
  • Retired Singapore diplomat Bilahari Kausikan gives his perspectives on regional and global developments that pertain to Singapore’s foreign policy.

    “Diplomacy is not about being nice, polite or agreeable. It is fundamentally about protecting and promoting the country’s interests, preferably by being nice but, if necessary, by other appropriate means.”
    —Bilahari Kausikan

    A first collection of essays and public speeches, covering the period from Singapore’s independence in 1965 to 2017, was published under the title Singapore Is Not An Island.

    This second collection of articles and speeches builds on this and covers events up to 2023.

    Sharing his strategic insights through various essays, talks and papers, Bilahari shows why and how Singapore and Asean should navigate the new strategic environment. Global and regional issues are examined through the realistic lens of Singapore’s foreign policy interests.
