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

Citigroup is believed to be the top player in international retail banking because of its ability to make the most of technological advances in electronic banking. Domestically however, Sanwa Bank—which is now a member of the UFJ Group and Financial One alliance, also possesses a high rank in terms of retail banking strategies in Japan. It could be observed though that Citi accounts for Japan's highest growth consumer-market segment. This chapter examines the role of IT in consumer banking, specifically in the case of the said two banks through discussing retail banking in Japan, the development of Sanwa Bank, Citigroup's consumer operations specifically on financial services and banking industries, and the Level 3 IT support structure strategy that Citigroup practices across the globe.Less

In 1806 Ørsted obtains a professorship in Copenhagen. He takes inspiration from his lectures to authoring a textbook on natural science. Corresponding with Ritter on issues involved with writing a textbook. Ørsted decides to divide his textbook into two parts: one volume on mechanical physics and a second volume on dynamical physics, tentatively divided into a ‘lower’ and a ‘higher’ dynamics. The first volume was printed in 1807, but the copies were destroyed by the bombardment of Copenhagen, so it was only published two years later. Ørsted also pursued his investigations of Winterl's alleged elements, until Chenevix disclosed his fraud. Ørsted helps support Ritter's hopeless economy. Ørsted's own economical situation is sketched. He works out a plan to form a Practical Institute for the Experimental Sciences that does not materialize.Less
