is part of Javnost - The Public , VIII , 2 , June, 2001 , pp. 45 - 66
«The case of Singapore, which is a very prosperous and highly developed capitalist economy with a large middle class, but whose government undoubtedly retains a strong authoritarian element, demonstrate that the link between capitalism and democracy is not at all automatic... The Progressive Action Party (PAP), which has since independence forme d the government of Singapore, has... avoided the path to liberal democracy through its deployment of a discourse of "Asian Values." The article makes extensive use of the concept of hegemony through the use of discourses on "Asian Capitalism" and "Asian Democracy"».
