Abstract
ABSTRACT The PAP will probably remain in power, in the short term at least, after the ‘fourth generation‘ (4G) takes over in the next general elections. The most likely scenario is for the 4G to maintain power but with much smaller majorities. If the PAP were to lose power, it would be because of mismanagement in three specific areas: the economy, foreign talent and elite cohesion. The 4G leaders are unlikely to make radical changes to the Singapore system. Singapore will not be a Western-type liberal democracy, and any real reforms to the political system will have to wait for the 5G leadership.

期刊介绍：
Founded in 1910, The Round Table, Britain"s oldest international affairs journal, provides analysis and commentary on all aspects of international affairs. The journal is the major source for coverage of policy issues concerning the contemporary Commonwealth and its role in international affairs, with occasional articles on themes of historical interest. The Round Table has for many years been a repository of informed scholarship, opinion, and judgement regarding both international relations in general, and the Commonwealth in particular, with authorship and readership drawn from the worlds of government, business, finance and academe.
