• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Intelligence as Statecraft: Singapore's Strategic Transformation in the Indo-Pacific examines how a small city-state has turned intelligence into the architecture of national survival. Drawing on two decades of transformation (2015-2025), this book explores how Singapore built one of the most sophisticated intelligence ecosystems in the world-integrating technology, governance, and foresight into a coherent model of "smart-state intelligence."

From the Internal Security Department (ISD) to the Security and Intelligence Division (SID) and the newly created Digital and Intelligence Service (DIS), Singapore's system reveals how coordination, not size, defines power. The book traces the evolution from Cold War counter-subversion to AI-driven national foresight, mapping the fusion of human and digital cognition across military, civilian, and academic institutions.

Through detailed analysis of alliances with the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, Israel, and ASEAN partners, the study shows how intelligence diplomacy enables small states to thrive amid great-power rivalry in the Indo-Pacific. It also highlights Singapore's leadership in ethical governance, AI oversight, and regional interoperability-offering a model of strategic resilience in the digital century.

Written with academic rigor and narrative clarity, this volume is essential reading for scholars, policymakers, and readers interested in intelligence studies, small-state strategy, and Southeast Asian security.
