Features: This book takes the Singapore People's Action Party as the main research subject, comprehensively analyzing its governance philosophy, ideology, governance mechanisms, and the issue of governance legitimacy. It objectively summarizes the governance experience of the Singapore People's Action Party and reveals the relationship between the party's governance model and Singapore's socio-economic takeoff. The insights and lessons on national management and economic development leadership provided by the Singapore People's Action Party, as revealed in this book, hold practical reference value. Especially against the backdrop of the Fourth Plenary Session of the 16th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasizing the strengthening of the Party's governance capacity, the theoretical and practical significance of conducting in-depth research on the governance experience of foreign political parties is self-evident. In the face of the challenges of economic globalization, developing countries worldwide, particularly those in Asia where economic growth has begun to take off, face common issues. Professor Sun Jingfeng's doctoral dissertation, "A Study on the Governance Model of the Singapore People's Action Party," selects Singapore, a late-developing East Asian country with a predominantly Chinese population, as the research sample. This choice holds certain reference value in terms of cultural background and geographical environment. The insights and lessons on national management and economic development leadership provided by the Singapore People's Action Party, as revealed in the dissertation, also hold practical reference value.
