Institutional Change and the Political Transition in Hong Kong (Hardcover)

The focus of this book is the question of whether the institutions for post-1997 Hong Kong are likely to receive public support and are appropriate for continuing political stability. Divided into three sections, the author analyses research material on public attitudes towards elections, political parties and the future, the present and future legislative, executive, bureaucracy and legal system, and finally speculates on the role of Chinese party centres and the PLA and on possible alternative institutional arrangements.
