  • One Party Dominance Survival: the Case of Singapore and Taiwan

    One Party Dominance Survival: the Case of Singapore and Taiwan

    One Party Dominance Survival: The Case of Singapore and Taiwan DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Lan Hu Graduate Program in Political Science The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Professor R. William Liddle Professor Jeremy Wallace Professor Marcus Kurtz Copyrighted by Lan Hu 2011 Abstract Can a one-party-dominant authoritarian regime survive in a modernized society? Why is it that some survive while others fail? Singapore and Taiwan provide comparable cases to partially explain this puzzle. Both countries share many similar cultural and developmental backgrounds. One-party dominance in Taiwan failed in the 1980s when Taiwan became modern. But in Singapore, the one-party regime survived the opposition’s challenges in the 1960s and has remained stable since then. There are few comparative studies of these two countries. Through empirical studies of the two cases, I conclude that regime structure, i.e., clientelistic versus professional structure, affects the chances of authoritarian survival after the society becomes modern. This conclusion is derived from a two-country comparative study. Further research is necessary to test if the same conclusion can be applied to other cases. This research contributes to the understanding of one-party-dominant regimes in modernizing societies. ii Dedication Dedicated to the Lord, Jesus Christ. “Counsel and sound judgment are mine; I have insight, I have power. By Me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just; by Me princes govern, and nobles—all who rule on earth.” Proverbs 8:14-16 iii Acknowledgments I thank my committee members Professor R.

  • Section Training

    Section Training

    NINE SECTION TRAINING I. SETTLING DOWN The only break at the end of basic training was the normal weekend, which was not much since the POP was on Saturday, 13th August and section training began on Monday, 15th August. There was no change to the configuration of the platoons and sections. Strictly speaking, each trainee was now a private soldier, but for some reason they were usually referred to as ‘trainees’, probably a force of habit. By now, however, the trainees had settled down to life at SAFTI and nearly everyone took the regimented routine in his stride. Friendships and loyalties had developed and housekeeping duties had sort of synchro-meshed. Collective punishment, especially extra-drill and the threat of confinement, had made it in every trainee’s interest to cover his barrack-mates and present a united front against the instructors. Physical fitness had reduced the stresses of life and improved reactions to the unexpected. A perceptible hardening had taken place in the last two months, and recovery from the previous day’s exertions was usually complete after a night’s deep sleep, even when it was brief because of late training. The sense of being constantly hassled was being replaced by a can-do spirit: the instructors had become to some extent predictable and pre-emptable. Besides, less ‘mistakes’ were being made. One of the most significant and welcome changes was that the trainees no longer had to move as platoons to and from the dining halls (exclusive to each company), but instead, went on their own or in random groups during the scheduled times.

    Neighborhood Differentiation and Travel Patterns in Singapore

    SMART-FM Working Paper (not for quotation or citation) Neighborhood Differentiation and Travel Patterns in Singapore Clio Andris, SMART Future Urban Mobility IRG PART 1: INTRODUCTION There have been many initiatives within the Singaporean government to improve quality of life for Singaporeans and visitors through transit infrastructure, transit demand management, land use planning initiatives and housing. The result of this investiture made by agencies such as URA, HDB, SLA, LTA, SMRT and others, transportation in Singapore seems to support widespread mobility for Singaporeans traveling to work, school, shopping districts and recreational activities, and plans have yielded one of the best transit systems in the world. Moreover, Singapore has provided its residents high levels of transportation mobility despite challenges of high population density and rapid changes in development. Nevertheless, in this time of advancing urbanization, we are interested in which aspects of life, movement and socialization are important for modeling Singaporean travel demand needs in the present and future, with respect to rising income levels, demographic changes, and increased need for redevelopment. Future densification and urbanization will require new attention to the impacts on travel patterns as well as a better understanding of physical and social forces. This predicament calls for richer modeling capabilities. Recently, a shift toward activity-based modeling has been successful in capturing more biographical, or true-to-life view of travel decisions of citizens. There is a rich literature on travel demand modeling and activity patterns. Further, understanding the implications of future improvements in mobility includes a need to address more than the traditional journey to work concerns.
