Summary/Abstract: Singapore, the small city-state located in the South-Eastern Asia, has been experiencing heavy political shifts since the end of World War II. These transformations made it a country with one of the best-developed economies worldwide. This paper aims to analyse the political changes taking place in Singapore in the second half of the 20th century in the context of factors determining the economic success of that state. It discusses the transformations and key political events shaping modern Singapore, its economy and social model. The objective was achieved with the use of data from international reports and indices developed by the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank, the Singapore Department of Statistics. The materials collected allowed for a comparative analysis of Singapore and other countries in South-Eastern Asia. The authors carried out a SWOT analysis providing a synthetic overview of the analyses performed.
