Building a policy school in Singapore

Through accounts by five people involved in the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy’s formative years, this book traces the decisions and challenges behind the institution’s early development. The contributors also explain their own involvement and consider opportunities and difficulties the school might face in the years ahead. Alongside this institutional history, the chapters address the place of an Asian policy school, the design of its curriculum, how global policy studies differ from other academic fields, and the school’s executive education programs. The book offers a multi-author view of how a new school took shape within the National University of Singapore and the questions that shaped its direction.

  • Readers interested in the development of higher-education institutions and public policy schools.

Book overview

In an industry of higher education that measures the longevity of its leading institutions in decades and centuries, the establishment and rapid growth of the eight-year-old Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy (LKY School), National University of Singapore, is a remarkable story that deserves to be told. The five co-authors, all of whom were involved in guiding the School during its formative years, provide unique perspectives of key events and the thinking behind major decisions that helped place the School on its current trajectory. They also provide insights into the challenges faced along the way as well as their own motivations in becoming part of this enterprise. Finally, each author provides his or her own thoughts as to the challenges and opportunities that could emerge for the LKY School in years to come.Read the chapters authored by dynamic, key founding and management personnel of the LKY School and discover for yourselves: the relevance of an Asian policy schoolwhat will make the LKY School's curriculum "one of the most innovative"what sets global policy studies apart from all other academic disciplineswhy executive education at the LKY School is one of the largest in the worldwhy the LKY School is the third best-endowed policy school in the worlda view of high-profile participating "student officials"
