Description

3-in-1: Governing a Global Financial Centre provides a comprehensive understanding of Singapore’s past development and future success as a global financial centre. It focuses on three transformational processes that have determined the city-state’s financial sector development and governance ? globalisation, financialisation, and centralisation ? and their impacts across three areas: the economy, governance, and technology. More importantly, this book takes a multidimensional approach by considering the inter-related and interdependent nature of these three transformational processes. Just like the 3-in-1 coffee mix that is such an ubiquitous feature of everyday life in Singapore, the individual ingredients of Singapore’s success as a global financial centre do not act alone, but as an integrated whole that manifests itself in one final product: the global financial centre.
