註釋
"Think of Singapore instead as the Air-Conditioned Nation—a society with a unique blend of comfort and central control, where people have mastered their environment, but at the cost of individual autonomy, and at the risk of unsustainability."
Air-Conditioned Nation Revisited
is an anthology of essays on Singapore politics by Cherian George. It draws upon his influential collection
Singapore: The Air-Conditioned Nation
(2000), on the country's politics of comfort and control, and from
Singapore, Incomplete
(2017), on its underdeveloped democracy. Updated for the impending transition to a new generation of leaders, this 20th anniversary edition of
Air-Conditioned Nation
offers critical reflections on continuity and change in Singapore’s unique political culture.
