Description: This article discusses a multi-sector governance model for environmental management with three governance approaches corresponding with the level of government intervention and the level of non-state actors' participation. It explains how governance works in a context where democratic processes/opportunities are limited and where state-based approaches dominate, using Singapore as a case study. It also examines how non-state sectors' participation affects the governance outcome in Singapore. Positive and negative lessons from the Singapore experience, regarding how to balance between democratic development and environmental management, may benefit other city-states.
