Summary

Unlike the previous three Forums organized by the LSE in Bangkok, Hong Kong and New Delhi, the LSE Asia Forum 2008 on “The Politics of Knowledge” held in Singapore was the first to be jointly organized with a local institution as represented by the Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS).

Another first was the publication of the papers presented in the Forum in a book to provide a permanent record to a wider audience. Those fortunate enough to attend the Forum were treated to stimulating presentations by the distinguished panel of speakers and discussants. I am delighted that ISEAS has been able to contribute to the success of the Forum and the publication of this book during the year of ISEAS' 40th Anniversary.

The LSE strives to achieve the highest academic standards in teaching and research in the social sciences. It also aims to contribute knowledge for the common good, to a global audience of governments, other policymakers, international business, multilateral institutions and the informed general public. This volume was created from the knowledge delivered to a large audience at the latest LSE Asia Forum held in Singapore on 11 April 2008. I hope that you find it a valuable contribution to some of the most pressing public policy issues of our day.
