Mr Tan Chong Meng is the Institute of Policy Studies' 14th S R Nathan Fellow for the Study of Singapore. This book is an edited collection of his three IPS-Nathan Lectures, delivered from March to May 2024, and includes highlights of his question-and-answer segments with our audience.
Supply chain management has gained increased prominence in light of disruption caused by COVID-19, the unpredictable US-China trade war, and the Red Sea crisis. Furthermore, discussions surrounding deglobalisation, market bifurcation and supply chain decarbonisation raise questions about their potential impact on global trade.
In this three-part lecture series, Mr Tan will examine the past, present and future of trade, and assess key drivers and significant outcomes arising from these profound changes, drawing on his perspectives as a business leader in ports, supply chains and energy. The lectures will also delve into the remarkable expansion in global trade, the role of ports and maritime shipping, and importantly, shed light on the anticipated trajectory for Singapore's role as a maritime hub. Amid uncertain environments driven by geopolitical tensions, climate risk and technological disruption, how can we ensure the sustainability and resilience of our supply chains? How can Singapore continue to play a role as a connector of the world through trade?
The IPS-Nathan Lecture series was launched in 2014 as part of the S R Nathan Fellowship for the Study of Singapore, named after Singapore's sixth and longest-serving president. It seeks to advance public understanding and discussion of issues of critical national interest for Singapore.
