What's more controversial than coal, harder to build than a dam, and suddenly, back on Southeast Asia's policy agenda? Nuclear. 

For years, it was too politically sensitive. Too scary and too expensive. But now, demand from industry, data centres and urbanisation is making it necessary for governments to look again. Renewables can definitely help, but they have limits. So nuclear, especially Small Modular Reactors, is being reconsidered. 

In Singapore, the issue is also moving from hypothetical debate to formal assessment. From 2027, International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) experts will assess Singapore's nuclear infrastructure readiness. Though the government has emphasised that this is not a decision to adopt nuclear, but part of a rigorous three-phase assessment. So nuclear isn't just an engineering question. It's about trust, safety, public fear, and what happens when risk crosses borders.

Policy Unpacked: Nuclear in Southeast Asia - Power, Politics and Public Trust

For decades, ASEAN has largely taken a neoliberal approach to regional economic security, grounded in the belief that economic cooperation and integration among its member states would help ensure peace and stability, while also promoting prosperity for its people.

More recently, it has been strained by the longer-term economic repercussions of the conflict in the Middle East. Against this backdrop, a key question emerges. Does ASEAN's longstanding economic security paradigm remain fit for purpose?

In this episode of Policy Unpacked, join expert panel, Dr. Denis Hew, Senior Research Fellows at the Centre on Asia and Globalisation, Dr. Su-Hyun Lee, Senior Associate Fellow at the Centre for Multilateralism Studies and Deputy Head of Graduate Studies at RSIS-NTU, Professor Mely Caballero-Anthony, Associate Dean (International Engagement) and Head of the Centre for Non-Traditional Security Studies, also at RSIS-NTU, and Dr Barbora Valockova, Research Fellow at the Centre on Asia and Globalisation (CAG) at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, as they explore how shifting geopolitical and geoeconomic dynamics are reshaping the economic landscape of the ASEAN region.

Policy Unpacked: ASEAN at the Crossroads - Rethinking Economic Security

Resilience has become a familiar term in recent years, especially after COVID-19, supply chain disruptions, rising geopolitical tensions and rapid technological change. But today, resilience is no longer just about recovery. It is about how countries and regions adapt and rethink how they operate in a more uncertain and fragmented world. For ASEAN, this challenge is particularly complex. Resilience looks different across emerging technologies, global value chains and health and other non-traditional security issues. And policy choices in one area can create vulnerabilities in another.

In this episode's of Policy Unpacked, join our expert panel, LKYSPP's Dr. Denis Hew and Dr Miguel Gomez, Senior Research Fellows at the Centre on Asia and Globalisation, SMU's Associate Professor Chang Pao Li and RSIS' Professor Mely Anthony, as they explore what resilience really means for ASEAN and what it will take for the region to remain competitive, resilient and secure.

Policy Unpacked: Reimagining Regional Resilience - Technology, Global Value Chains & Health Security

Southeast Asia is navigating a far more contested and uncertain strategic environment. Military tensions, major power rivalry and territorial disputes are growing, while transboundary challenges from economic shocks to cyber risks, are testing the region's resilience. 

For ASEAN, this raises a critical question: How can the region remain stable, resilient and relevant as global power structures shift? 

Tune in to this episode of Policy Unpacked with LKYSPP's Prof Selina Ho, Prof Khong Yuen Foong as well as, NUS' Law School's Prof Tan Hsien-Li, as they examine how changing global dynamics are reshaping the Asian regional order and what this means for ASEAN's role going forward.

Policy Unpacked: Work, AI, and the Role of Public Policy

In the first episode of our newly launched podcast series, “Policy Unpacked”, we explore Singapore’s “small nation, big journey,” featuring Terence Ho, Adjunct Associate Professor in Practice at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy and author of “How Singapore Beat the Odds.” The conversation explores why Singapore’s survival was uncertain at independence - small population, high unemployment, reliance on British bases - and how it built success through ideas and institutions rather than luck. Ho highlights the pivotal role of first-generation leaders like Lee Kuan Yew and Goh Keng Swee, long-term planning, strong inter-agency coordination, and empowering capable people - principals, commanders, and civil servants - through mechanisms like block budgeting.

A core theme is Singapore’s pragmatic synthesis: drawing from both left and right (compassion and self-reliance), combining market forces with judicious state intervention, and adapting global best practices to local context. Policy evolution, such as shifting from streaming to subject-based banding, illustrates continuous recalibration to reduce stigma while keeping standards. The civil service complements political leadership as “intellectual equals,” increasingly communicating policies publicly, while tripartism builds trust and buy-in, countering the misconception of a purely top-down technocracy.

Associate Prof Ho outlines enduring tensions Singapore must balance: growth and equity, global openness and local identity, development and heritage. Looking ahead, he sees new “odds” in a fractured global trading system and disruptive AI, arguing for an updated success formula that layers resilience (domestic capabilities, local core) atop openness and investment in human capital. He is cautiously optimistic, citing strong institutions, societal trust, adaptability shown in COVID-19, and purposeful youth. His overarching takeaway: values - service, integrity, and evolving meritocracy - anchor Singapore’s policy playbook and continue to guide its inclusive, pragmatic path.

Policy Unpacked: Rethinking the Social Contract

Today we put the spotlight on the United Nations as it turns 80 years old in 2025. Current global crises, such as geopolitical conflicts, climate change, and humanitarian disasters are profoundly testing the UN's existing mechanisms and its capacity to respond effectively. We sit down with Professor Francesco Mancini to discuss the UN's ability to adapt, reform and successfully address these crises, which will ultimately define its relevance and determine its path forward in global governance.

Foreseeable: A Podcast Series by Global-is-Asian

The concept of social inclusion stresses the causes, experiences and consequences of persistent, overlapping disadvantages. Social inclusion envisions the opposite of a socially exclusive society. In this vision, people are able to take part in social activities that are considered customary in that time and place; they have capacity for economic production and consumption; they also get to shape the decisions that directly affect them.

In recent months, the Singapore government announced plans to develop new public housing in prime locations, introduce workplace anti-discrimination laws and expand the Progressive Wage Model to more sectors and occupations. These initiatives fall in several critical domains of social policy – housing, income and work. Can they pave the way to a more inclusive society? Ng Kok Hoe (LKYSPP) and Shailey Hingorani (AWARE) discuss these questions in a conversation on social inclusion, research and advocacy.

Many observers have hailed China’s steady commitment to addressing the challenges of climate change. Today, China plays a leading role in developing alternative energy sources and has made bold announcements targeting carbon emissions, new construction of coal power-plants, and protection of biodiversity. At the same time, the green Belt Road is poised to become a leading mechanism in Beijing’s overarching vision for environmental protection and sustainable development

Is Beijing in the process of devising a new system of global environmental governance? How does it align with the pressing need for urgent action on climate and biodiversity? What are some of the challenges and opportunities along the way?

To explore such questions, Dr Kaneti draws on empirical evidence from specific Belt Road projects and anchors her discussion in the conceptual framework of environmental protection as a super wicked problem.

China’s vision for global environmental governance: notes from the ground

How will societies cope with the rising numbers of older persons and ensure their welfare in the future? How are the pandemic, technological changes, and globalisation affecting the societal compact in ageing societies? How might smaller cohorts of younger persons generate the output required to help support the post-retirement needs of the elderly?  How do we ensure that the retirees’ post-retirement needs are financially supported, in the face of a shrinking tax base of younger working age persons?

In this podcast, Christopher Gee, Senior Research Fellow and Head of Governance & Economy at the Institute of Policy Studies at NUS and Dr Zeewan Lee, Assistant Professor at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy discuss the implications of rapid societal ageing on economic productivity and the welfare of the different generations and genders, and the policy options available to address these challenges.

The Future of Work, Welfare and the Social Compact in Ageing Societies

With the rise of woke culture and more widespread awareness of the disadvantages and difficulties faced by minorities, inclusion is turning into a watchword. Many organisations are facing pressure to enact diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) policies. However, such policies have often been interpreted too broadly and applied uncritically.

Universal inclusion, such as through colour-blind hiring strategies, affirmative action through quotas for minorities and a range of accommodations, could have unintended consequences. Such initiatives can result in impractical outcomes for organisations and undermine social cohesion in broader society.

Associate Professor Suzaina Kadir, Vice Dean (Academic Affairs) and Associate Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy welcomes Dr Mathew Mathews, Principal Research Fellow and Head, Social Lab, Institute of Policy Studies, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy for a critical discussion about the realities of this complex topic.

Enacting sensible inclusion amidst widespread attention to diversity

Global unrest is at record highs today, up to four times greater than any time since the 1950s.  Nationalism, xenophobia, identity politics, and populism all figure prominently now in conversations around the entire world. These confound the world's search for geopolitical security.  By their disrupting economic performance, societies everywhere are potentially falling into a vicious circle of ever-escalating internal tension.  What are the critical points in that chain that policymakers need to understand to break this cycle of disruption?  Where does economic failure fit in society's ill-temper?  How much is economic inequality the problem, how does inequality connect with the loss of social cohesion?

How can we improve social cohesion through applying scientific evidence to better inform policy?  In earlier times inequality was arguably even higher.  What was the basic social bargain then that nonetheless gave everyone a stake in social betterment?  Have modern societies irrevocably broken that implicit covenant? How do we repair this worldwide fall in social trust?

Prof Danny Quah, Dean and Li Ka Shing Professor in Economics, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy joins Assoc Prof Leong Ching, Vice Provost (Student Life) and Associate Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy for an in-depth conversation.
