小國的大戰略－－新加坡途徑

Grand Strategy for Small State: Singapore Approach

大戰略是整合一個國家或是一群國家的資源，邁向實踐戰爭的政治目的。大戰略不再僅是軍事意義，它包括了外交、財政、經濟、資訊等層面。新加坡的大戰略有幾個層面。它對內建立全民防衛的概念，對外遊走於強國之間運作區域權力平衡的遊戲，以確保星國國家生存。星國是個崇尚西方文化的國家，卻以亞洲價值的裙帶觀念，打造國家資本主義，又以亞洲價值堅持一黨獨大的父權政治，抵擋西方民主思想。星國雖面臨地緣政治的威脅，卻也善用自身的優勢，在星國國家利益的大前提下，以小國的大戰略為自己在國際間累積了卓越的名聲。

Grand strategy refers to the integration of the resources of a single state or a group of states to the practice of war for political purposes. Grand strategy is not constrained to military sense, it includes diplomatic, financial, economic and information levels. Singapore's grand strategy has several levels. It builds up the concept of total defense internally, manipulates the concept of regional balance of power between the powerful states externally to ensure its survival. Singapore enjoys the western culture of life on the one hand, on the other hand pursues the concept of Asian values of crony capitalism for the building of state capitalism. It also insists the one-party dominance in the name of Asian values to resist the Western democratic ideas. Singapore is facing the potential threat of geopolitics, but it makes good use of its own advantages ensuring national interest. It is a small state; however, its grand strategy has earned its international reputation for excellence.
