One Man's View of the World pdf

李光耀（1923 年 9 月 16 日至 2015 年 3 月 23 日出生）是新加坡政治家，也是人民行动党的第一任总书记和创始成员。新加坡共和国首任总理连续执政三年，以国家的缔造者和不到一代人的时间从第三世界到第一世界的运输者而闻名。 1990年，李宽辞去总理职务和政党总书记职务，但仍保留其名誉主席和重要政治人物。 Lee 避开了民粹主义政治，转而采取长期切实可行的社会和经济措施。他把资格和多民族作为他统治的主要原则。李采用英语作为通用语，以整合新加坡社会的各个领域，并促进与西方的贸易。然而，他下令在学校实行双语，这样学生就不会忘记他们的母语。李的裁决受到批评，特别是在西方，因为据称通过对政治对手提起诽谤诉讼来限制公民自由。就他而言，他说这些纪律措施以及法治对于政治稳定和经济进步至关重要。 2004 年 8 月 12 日，其子李显龙成为新加坡政府第三任总理，并在长达 50 多年的历任部长级职位中任命自己为政府部长古鲁的顾问。 2011年大选后，李光耀在九十一岁去世前宣布离开政府，为新生代年轻人让路。

One Man's View of the World pdf 李光耀

Born in 1923, Singapore's former Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew has spent a lifetime being intimately involved in international affairs. He has met every major Chinese leader from Mao Zedong to Xi Jinping and hobnobbed with American presidents from Lyndon Johnson to Barack Obama. In this book, Lee draws on that wealth of experience and depth of insight to offer his views on today's world and what it might look like in 20 years. This is no dry geopolitical treatise. Nor is it a thematic account of the twists and turns in global affairs. Instead, in this broad-sweep narrative that takes in America, China, Asia and Europe, he parses their society, probes the psyche of the people and draws his conclusions about their chances for survival and just where they might land in the hierarchy of tomorrow's balance of power. What makes a society tick? What do its people really believe? Can it adapt? In spare, unflinching prose that eschews political correctness, he describes a China that remains obsessed with control from the centre on its way to an unstoppable rise; an America that will have to share its pre-eminence despite its never-say-die dynamism; and a Europe that struggles with the challenges of keeping its union intact. His candid and often startling views - on why Japan is closed to foreigners, why the Arab Spring won't bring one man, one vote to the Middle East, and why preventing global warming is not going to be as fruitful as preparing for it - make this a fresh and gripping read. Lee completes the book by looking into the future of Singapore - his enduring concern - and by offering the reader a glimpse into his personal life and his view of death. The book is interspersed with a Q&A section in each chapter, gleaned from conversations he had with journalists from The Straits Times.
