Will Pragmatism Undermine Singapore’s National Identity?

The Singapore model of development and governance has often been described and celebrated as pragmatic. In this talk, Kenneth Paul Tan will discuss the ways in which the Singaporean nation-building project has been served by pragmatism, how it can be undermined by a debased form of pragmatism, and what dystopian futures we might expect if that happens. Limited spaces available. Cost per ticket includes light refreshments.
