LEE KUAN YEW SCHOOL OF PUBLIC POLICY

INSTITUTE OF POLICY STUDIES The Institute of Policy Studies (IPS), an autonomous think-tank now part of the LKY School, was established in 1988 to promote awareness of policy issues and good governance in Singapore. It seeks to cultivate clarity of thought, forward thinking and a big-picture perspective on issues critical to Singapore’s national interest through strategic deliberation and research.

In adopting a multi-disciplinary approach in its analysis and taking a long-term and strategic view, the Institute studies how the attitudes and aspirations of Singaporeans affect policy development, diplomacy and international affairs. The Institute bridges and engages diverse stakeholders through its conferences and seminars, closed-door discussions, publications, and surveys on public perceptions of policy.
