Abstract

Throughout the period from 2004 to 2024, Singapore's foreign policy towards the United States has been characterized by pragmatism and adaptability. As a small but economically significant state, Singapore has effectively leveraged its strategic location in Southeast Asia to build strong ties with the U.S., securing economic and security cooperation while navigating the challenges posed by the rise of China and the rebalancing of global power structures. The study also delves into Singapore's participation in key regional and global institutions, such as ASEAN and the United Nations, where it balances its support for U.S. interests with an emphasis on regional stability and multilateralism. Singapore has maintained an unwavering commitment to free trade, demonstrating a liberal economic outlook that aligns with American values, especially in the context of their close partnership in areas like defense, trade, technology, and investment. Constructivist theory also provides valuable insight into the shaping of their bilateral relationship, as both countries share an identity as global middle powers advocating for rules-based international order, human rights, and sustainable development. As global power dynamics continue to evolve, Singapore remains an important player in U.S. foreign policy strategies, positioning itself as a bridge between East and West in an increasingly multipolar world.
