Download or read book Public Administration in Hong Kong written by Wei Li and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-06-30 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the case of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of People’s Republic of China, mapping the changing patterns of political-administrative relations affected by the sovereignty change and structural reforms. It identifies the conditions that account for the varied political-administrative relations resulting from these changes, and develops an analytical framework that integrates and adapts theories and models from Western contexts to explain varied political-administrative relations in Hong Kong policymaking. The book tests its hypotheses through a qualitative comparative analysis of 18 cases occurring during the period of 1997–2012. It also conducts a comparative case analysis, which identified alternative causal conditions that were missing in the original framework. The book concludes that civil servants no longer dominate policymaking in Hong Kong after the regime change and structural reforms. While senior civil servants have sustained influence over policymaking processes through codified rules and political appointment, some of them have adapted to the changes in political environment that require more proactive policy styles and more hierarchical loyalty to the Central People’s Government of China than before. The first-hand interview materials presented in the book provide insights about internal political-administrative dynamics rarely accessible from the public domain. These insights provide inside knowledge of the actors, structure and processes of local policymaking in a context of post-colonial transition, and will be of interest to public administration scholars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why and how has civic engagement emerged in the policy process of Hong Kong as an Asian semi-democratic state? This book attempts to answer this question through examining six cases that straddle diverse policy domains. It identifies three explanatory factors, namely, the profile of a policy domain, the structure of societal interest, and the strength of the civil society sector as important in shaping the state’s strategy in managing society, hence its propensity to engage. These factors affect the outcome through dynamic interaction between the state and societal actors. The findings outlined in the book show that the development of civic engagement in Hong Kong consists of both society-led and state-led cases. Society-led development brought about a high degree of openness and inclusiveness, whereas state-led civic engagement practices tended to be tactics utilized by the state for appeasing or depoliticizing civil society. Compared with other Asian regimes, the use of ‘transgressive contention’ as a way to compel the state to engage society is a feature that stands out in the liberal autocratic regime in Hong Kong.

Abstract: Abstract of the thesis entitled " Implementation of China''s Hong Kong policy: A study of the drafting of Hong Kong Basic Law, 1985-90" Submitted by Ho Ka Ki, Lawrence For the Degree of Master of Philosophy at the University of Hong Kong In March 2000 This thesis aims to explain the challenges posed to China''s policy implementation process presented by the resumption of sovereignty over Hong Kong. Different from the existing studies which emphasized the confrontations between Britain and China, this study adopts a new perspective by utilizing the concepts of policy implementation studies to analyze the issues surrounding the implementation of China''s Hong Kong policies throughout the transition period. Adopting Grindle''s framework of implementation studies, this study hopes to reveal and explain the transformation of China''s strategies and tactics throughout the Basic Law drafting process. By employing several of Grindle''s concepts for successful policy implementation: administrative institutionalization, environmental stability and public responsiveness, this study has made an examination on: 1) The effectiveness of Beijing''s policy instructions and its administrative mechanisms to facilitate the implementation of its policies; 2) The political, social and economic contexts of Hong Kong and the subsequent changes in those contexts which affected Beijing''s implementation decisions; and 3) The effect of the above two dimensions on shaping the behavior of the Hong Kong people which, in turn, influenced the final decisions of the PRC leaders in certain policy areas. This thesis argues that by revising its target of united front in Hong Kong, China has relatively successfully ensured a smooth transition of sovereignty in 1997. Beijing leaders adapted to the pluralist politics of Hong Kong under British administration and took a more consultative style of decision making in the drafting of the Basic Law. Given the assertion of its sovereign control over Hong Kong after 1997, China has adopted two-fold approach to deal with Hong Kong elites'' demands during the process. On one hand, the communist leaders adopted the conservative iiproposals of the businessmen and industrialists on the democratic development, and made considerable concession to the profession''s demands on revising the provisions of Central-local relations after the public consultation process. On the other decline the proposals as advocated by the pro-democracy groups to hold a referendum to determine the evolution of political structure, and did not accept the legitimacy of the Executive and Legislative Councils on the grounds that they were only the advisory institution for the colonial government. 4) The June Fourth event in June 1989 drastically and comprehensively altered the prevailing context for implementation. While it witnessed a major realignment on policy directions and changes on administrative personnel of both British and Chinese governments, it also reversed the perception of Hong Kong elite towards the Beijing government thereby affected their behavior at the final stage of drafting process. The study concludes that China''s experience in dealing with the Hong Kong issue has great significance for the top leadership to cope with a more pluralized policy process. The Beijing leaders accepted the legitimacy of some Hong Kong interest

Download or read book The Economic Roots of the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong written by Louis Augustin-Jean and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the autumn of 2014, thousands of people, young and educated in their majority, occupied the chief business district and seat of the government in Hong Kong. The protest, known as the Umbrella Movement, called for ‘genuine democracy’, as well as a fairer social and economic system. The book aims to provide a dynamic framework to explain why socioeconomic forces converged to produce such a situation. Examining increasing inequality, rising prices and stagnating incomes, it stresses the role of economic and social factors, as opposed to the domestic political and constitutional issues often assumed to be the root cause behind the protests. It first argues that globalization and the increasing influence of China’s economy in Hong Kong has weighted on salaries. Second, it shows that the oligopolistic nature of the local economy has generated rents, which have reinforced inequality. The book demonstrates that the younger generation, which is still finding its place in society, has been particularly affected by these phenomena, especially with social mobility at a low point. Offering a new approach to studying the Umbrella Movement, this book will appeal to students and scholars interested in Hong Kong's political landscape, as well Chinese politics more broadly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the political development of Hong Kong before and after 1997, in particular the evolution of state-society relations in the last two decades, to analyze the slow development of democracy and governance in Hong Kong after 1997. This book is a most comprehensive analysis of the multi-faceted changes in Hong Kong in the last 20 years. The scope of changes analyzed included state functions and institutions, political changes such as party development and development of the Legislative Council, and social changes such as social movements, civil liberties, etc. It helps the reader understand the crisis of governance of Hong Kong after 1997, and the difficulty of democratic development in Hong Kong over the years. The book covers: changing state institutions in Hong Kong in the last few decades; party development in Hong Kong; the changing role and function of the legislature in Hong Kong; the evolution of social movement and movement organizational forms; media freedom, civil liberties, and the role of civil society; and theoretical discussions concerning governance problems and state-society relations in Hong Kong. Special emphasis is placed on how these changes brought about a new state-society relation, which in turn brought governance difficulties after 1997.

Download or read book Comparative Multidisciplinary Perspectives on Omnibus Legislation written by Ittai Bar-Siman-Tov and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-27 with total page 333 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first in the world to provide a cross-national, comparative exploration of omnibus legislation. It contributes to the global debate over omnibus legislation and offers comprehensive, thorough and multifaceted coverage that concerns the fields of legislation and legisprudence, comparative law, political science, public policy and economics. Beyond its relevance for these fields, the book will support practitioners in parliaments, governments and courts, thereby impacting the actual use of omnibus legislation. A new, major and controversial reform is enacted in the middle of the night. It is buried in a massive omnibus bill hundreds of pages in length, which is rammed through the legislative process at breakneck speed. The legislators receive the final version of the bill in the very last minute, and protest that they’ve had no opportunity to read it in detail and know what they’re voting upon. The majority party’s legislative leaders, however, are unimpressed, and the law is eventually passed on the basis of strict party discipline. Though it may sound far-fetched, this scenario is all too familiar in many legislatures around the world. The legislative practice of combining numerous unrelated measures in one long bill, which is often passed via a highly expedited process, has become a matter of intense debate and criticism in many countries.
