In November last year, Professor Kishore Mahbubani was named one of the “Top 100 Global Thinkers in 2011” by Foreign Policy magazine. It was the third time he made the list, having also done so in 2005 and 2010.
“The first time may have been a fluke, but making the list for the second and third time makes me think my ideas may be having an impact,” says Mahbubani, who was appointed dean of the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy in Singapore in 2004 after a distinguished career spanning more than 30 years in Singapore’s foreign service.
