Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy: Building a Global Policy School in Asia

by Kishore Mahbubani, Stavros N. Yiannouka, Scott A. Fritzen
Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy: Building a Global Policy School in Asia - Thryft
Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy: Building a Global Policy School in Asia - Thryft

Chronicling Asia's prominent public policy educational ascent.

If you're intrigued by educational innovation and leadership within the Asian context, this book is a fascinating read. It isn't just the rapid rise of the Lee Kuan Yew School that's engaging. It's the glimpse into the minds of its founders—their foresight, challenges, and the tailored approach to public policy education—that positions this school as a unique force in global policy studies. Plus, imagining the future through their eyes adds an anticipatory thrill to the narrative.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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 the relevance of an Asian policy school, what will make the LKY School's curriculum "one of the most innovative," what sets global policy studies apart from all other academic disciplines, why executive education at the LKY School is one of the largest in the world, why the LKY School is the third best-endowed policy school in the world, and a view of high-profile participating "student officials".
