Isi artikel

Until the late 1980s, Singapore's foreign policy appeared cautious, reactive, and somewhat cynical. It was mainly the formalization of immediate interests: security in a dangerous region, and economic development through international opening. Hence, it constituted a "diplomacy of weakness", aimed at avoiding direct conflicts, and acquiring the goodwill of the great powers. More recently, however, Singapore's general outlook has been changing, it is now more global, more multilateral, and more open to ideological and normative considerations. It remains to be seen if the new opportunities offered by an enhanced international status will be accompanied by an acknowledgment of the new responsibilities befitting a relatively affluent country that happens to be the communications hub and economic powerhouse of an important region. Current difficult economic times call for decisive answers.
