In this study, Mutalib (political science, National U. of Singapore) considers the struggle between contemporary political parties in Singapore. His analysis is based upon archival research and interviews with leaders in both the dominant PAP party and those representing the opposition. He concludes by describing the problems facing opposition parties and assessing their prospects for making a lasting challenge to the PAP. Distributed in the U.S. by ISBS.
