This book presents a timely assessment of the impact of history, politics and economics in shaping the Singapore Constitution and is the first collaborative effort by a group of Singapore constitutional law scholars. Going beyond the descriptive narrative, the authors cast a critical eye over the developments of the last forty years by situating them in the larger tapestry of Singapore's historical, political and economic development.
