Porządek aksjologiczny Singapuru w ujęciu Lee Kuan Yew}, url={https://apcz.umk.pl/DP/article/view/DP.2021.006}, DOI={10.12775/DP.2021.006}, abstractNote={<p>The dispute over Asian values was one of the most important political tools in Southeast Asia<br />in the 1990s. The Prime Minister of Singapore, Lee Kuan Yew, used this concept to describe the<br />axiological order that prevails in the so-called Eastern Tigers – Asian metropolises that developed<br />very quickly economically, not accepting all the standards of Western democracy. This<br />article analyzes the dispute over Asian values, which was particularly acute at the end of the<br />last century. It is based on two questions: Are human rights universal? And What is the optimal<br />ratio of freedom to social control of the state apparatus? The work introduces the political model<br />created by Lee Kuan Yew – known as the Sage from the East, whose legal and social solutions<br />constitute a development model for the entire East Asia. Today, as the political presence of Asia,<br />and especially of China, is felt more and more around the world, the dispute over Asian values<br />is re-emerging.</p>}, number={30}, journal={Dialogi Polityczne}, author={Kądzielska, Maria}, year={2021}, month={kwi.}, pages={115–132} }
