520 2  "The life of Singapore as an independent nation since 1965
       has coincided with explosive growth, both of world trade 
       and world wealth. Trade, heavily seaborne, now contributes
       more than half of global GNP. Largely by exploiting 
       changing uses of the ocean, Singapore has grown remarkably
       rich. Constant and continuing comment in the media 
       concerning Singapore's dramatic economic and 
       organizational achievement has yet to find its way into a 
       book, and this one is the first to put the story of 
       Singapore into a global maritime context, describing and 
       analyzing how, despite many life-threatening crises, 
       Singapore, by using the sea, survived and prospered far 
       beyond even its own expectations. Putting priority upon 
       economic development and maintaining the social and 
       economic stability that Singapore's authoritarian 
       government has thought necessary to achieve this growth 
       has provoked heated controversy both among Singaporeans 
       and outside observers. Although opposition is too weak to 
       challenge the government successfully, the struggle to 
       define an acceptable balance between freedom and control 
       continues. This question takes on a universal concern, 
       intensified in our age of terrorism with its new 
       challenges to order and stability. To what extent does 
       authority stifle creativity?"--Provided by publisher
