Contending major powers could accept that rivals could accrue benefits, potentially even more benefits than themselves so long as they profited themselves. As US-PRC rivalries intensify, Washington and Beijing focus increasingly on relative gains which means they see advantages by the other as detrimental to themselves. Such conditions reduce the range of options for Singapore to “not choose” and work with both major powers.

New chapter on Singapore in the Palgrave Handbook on Geopolitics.

See the abstract below:

As a smaller actor in world affairs, Singapore will feel the ups and downs in major power relations more than most. Singapore historically benefited from being a commercial conduit among major powers, even before its establishment as a nation-state. Acting as a successful middleman is predicated on a degree of major power accommodation
that accepted the prioritization of absolute gains among major powers.
