Chapter Chapter 1 in Singapore as an International Financial Centre, 2016, pp 1-7 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter provides an overview of the book, discusses the rationale for this book, and frames it within its contextual background. By most measures, Singapore is ranked among the world’s top international financial centres (IFCs). It has furthermore achieved this position despite its relatively small size and short history. However, the various factors that have contributed to Singapore’s success as an IFC remain underexplored, with the exception of economic-structural variables. This book seeks to address this gap in the literature by focusing on historical, spatial, policy, and political factors.
