The authors, Donald Low and Sudhir Vadaketh, are two of our most original thinkers.” Tommy Koh, Ambassador-at-Large, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Singapore ““These wide-ranging, diverse, and richly stimulating essays deserve to be read by anyone seriously interested in Singapore’s future.” Don Emmerson, Director, Southeast Asia Forum, Stanford University
