Why has Singapore not achieved a full democratic transition, despite economic growth? A comparative case study of Singapore and Taiwan by Nur Shahira Binte Shahromey

“…However, Singapore, which has Southeast Asia’s highest GDP per capita, has not achieved a full democratic transition and is considered a hybrid regime. Many scholars have labelled Singapore’s political system “competitive authoritarian” or an “illiberal democracy”. …”

Fragmented and fitful: India’s energy diplomacy by Chaudhuri, PP

“…This has not been an easy process and the recently elected Narendra Modi government is just the latest regime to announce ambitious plans for reform. There are numerous reasons for this having proved to be such an onerous task: natural resources are treated as government assets, energy regulation is divided between the federal and state governments, and the domination of inefficient state-owned enterprises has resulted in a sector shot through with corruption and political interests. …”

Social movements and democratization in Malaysia by Khoo, Ying Hooi

Resonance fluorescence from an asymmetric quantum dot dressed by a bichromatic electromagnetic field by Kryuchkyan, G. Yu., Shahnazaryan, V., Kibis, Oleg V., Shelykh, I. A.

“…We present the theory of resonance fluorescence from an asymmetric quantum dot driven by a two-component electromagnetic field with two different frequencies, polarizations, and amplitudes (bichromatic field) in the regime of strong light-matter coupling. It follows from the elaborated theory that the broken inversion symmetry of the driven quantum system and the bichromatic structure of the driving field result in unexpected features of the resonance fluorescence, including the infinite set of Mollow triplets, the quench of fluorescence peaks induced by the dressing field, and the oscillating behavior of the fluorescence intensity as a function of the dressing field amplitude. …”
