This book is a project by the Hong Kong Political Science Association. The politics of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) have often been turbulent in the decade since the 1997 handover. The book presents an analysis of the main strands of continuity and change during the period. It looks first at the core institutions of the SAR, focusing on the executive, legislature, judiciary, civil service, District Councils, and advisory and statutory bodies. The book then turns to supporting structures in the wider society, paying particular attention to political parties and elections, civil society and non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and mass media and public opinion. Analyses of key policy sectors follow—notably economic policy, social policy, and urban policy. To finish, the book examines Hong Kong's relations with the Mainland and the wider world.Less
