Neoliberal Morality in Singapore (eBook, ePUB)

How family policies make state and society

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Using the case study of Singapore, this book examines the production of a set of institutionalized relationships and ethical meanings that link citizens to each other and the state. It looks at how questions of culture and morality are resolved, and how state-society relations are established that render paradoxes and inequalities acceptable, and form the basis of a national political culture.
