Hong Kong's Governance Under Chinese Sovereignty

The Failure of the State-Business Alliance After 1997

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book presents a novel interpretation of Hong Kong's governance crisis, moving beyond an opposition-centred explanation of post-1997 politics, to a state-centric perspective based on governing coalition building and state capacity. By establishing the causal relationship between the failure of the state-business governing coalition and the governance crisis facing the post-colonial state, Brian C. H. Fong broadens our understanding of the governance problems and political confrontations after 1997.
