图书简介
This book aims to record, assess and celebrate the many contributions of Professor Tommy Koh as a Singaporean public servant, diplomat and public intellectual in the areas of international law and trade agreements, arts and heritage, and civil society at the national, regional and global levels. It is an account of the ideas and ideals of an extraordinary Singaporean public servant who was not only born with the talent and ability to traverse many areas of society, but one, who when given the opportunity, had the drive and ambition to make the most of it, in order to help create a better society and life for his country and compatriots. Experts in the various fields of endeavour and people who have worked with him examine his ideals, activities and significant contributions in essays that are organised in four main sections on Diplomacy and International Relations; International Law; the Progressive Society; the Arts, Culture and Heritage; and a fifth section which features personal tributes contributed by his colleagues, former classmates and personal assistants. Set in the context of Singapore, a nation known for its socio-economic achievements, its ability to punch above its own weight in international relations and diplomacy, as well as its increasing appreciation for the heritage, arts, and sustainable development, this book illustrates the power of the individual and sense of agency that can create the systems and structures to achieve all those things. The story of Professor Tommy Koh as captured in this book should empower other change agents or aspiring ones to not only dream of a better world but to actively participate to create it. An inspirational collection for general readers, this book reflects the spirit of Singapore’s pioneer generation whose determination and tenacity turned the nation into the modern-day miracle that Singapore is today. Key Features: o A comprehensive review of the contributions and on-going legacy of Professor Tommy Koh as a Singaporean diplomat and public intellectual written by experts and those who have worked with him o Provide insights into how diplomacy and international relations as practised by the small city-state o Discussion of complex negotiations and policy choices that resulted in an increasingly inclusive, creative, post-colonial society since Singapore’s independence in 1965 o Essays that reflect on the actions of a change agent and his impact on many areas of life in Singapore and contributions to the global community
