Abstract

By-Elections in Singapore have played a different role depending on whether the country can be characterized as a hegemonic or competitive authoritarian regime. During the former, the ruling party was able to instrumentalize by-Elections for leadership renewal and enhance its power. Conversely, they aided opposition parties as well, providing them a training ground. © 2014 by the Regents of the University of California.
