Beginning with a broad perspective on the historical formation of Singapore, from its premodern roots, through its evolution as a colonial society, and then its fast-paced development as a modern nation-state in Southeast Asia, this subject develops a holistic analysis of fundamental features of Singapore as a 'society'. The course examines the making of 'Singaporeans' and 'Singapore culture'. The patterns of social order and dynamics of social change are understood by focusing on the relationships between political rule, economic structure, and cultural life.
