Synopsis

When the State Meets the Street probes the complex moral lives of street-level bureaucrats: the frontline social and welfare workers, police officers, and educators who represent government’s human face to ordinary citizens. Zacka’s revisionary portrait reveals bureaucratic life as more fluid and ethically fraught than most citizens realize. It invites us to approach the political theory of the democratic state from the bottom-up, thinking not just about what policies the state should adopt but also about how it ought to interact with citizens when implementing these policies.

Synopsis

After the 2024 election, many voters were left feeling disillusioned with America’s highest governing body. Anxious citizens point to the federal government and national elected officials with growing alarm, but the broken political system they see in Washington is merely a symptom. The site of that break—and the best opportunity to mend it—lies in the states.

A compelling exploration of where power really lies in the government, The Fourth Branch will be a book for anyone who cares about the country and wants to do something about where it’s headed.

Synopsis

Developed with renowned local comic artist Johnny Lau, creator of the iconic Mr Kiasu series, the publication draws on real-life workers experiences to give Singaporeans a glimpse into the lives of workers in Progressive Wage Model (PWM) sectors whose contributions are often seen but seldom fully understood. The title is a play on the acronym "PWM", reflecting how these workers quietly watch over Singapore through their daily work. NTUC hopes the publication will foster greater empathy and appreciation for the people behind many of Singapore's essential services.

Synopsis

This year’s report examines the critical bottlenecks to the region’s green growth, such as system constraints and policy uncertainty.

The report proposes how Southeast Asia can:
-Build power delivery infrastructure fast enough to absorb the influx of energy demand and capital
-Move from being an Electric Vehicle (EV) end market to become an integrated production and supply chain hub.

The report also lays out a sequencing approach for companies to capture near-term demand within current system constraints while building the infrastructure needed for long-term scale.
