Japan and Singapore in the World Economy

Using a variety of published and unpublished material, this work examines Japan's economic activities in Singapore, analysing the role of Japanese prostitutes, Kobe's overseas Chinese and the Lee Kwan Yew regime's policy towards Japan.

This pioneering work examines Japan''s economic activities in Singapore from 1870 to 1965. Drawing upon a wide range of published and unpublished sources, the authors shed new light on issues such as:
* prostitution
* foreign trade by Kobe''s overseas Chinese
* fishermen in the inter-war period
* Japanese economic activities during the Pacific War
* Japanese involvement in Singapore''s post-war industrialisation plan
* the Lee Kuan Yew regimes policy towards Japan
* the 1960s Japanese investment boom
This important work challenges commonly-held views on Japan''s economic advance into Southeast Asia in general and Singapore in particular.
