Does public participation matter? Inclusive growth in East Asia
Inclusiveness in economic development has lately emerged as a critical factor for development. This paper adopts an analytical concept of inclusive growth to evaluate East Asia’s economic success. It contests the Western conceptualization of the critical role of public participation in development, and argues that it has played a limited role in terms of inclusive growth in East Asia. Several factors have influenced the outcome of research in thi…
New Bottle, Old Wine
This paper reviews Beijing's Hong Kong policy, arguing that the policy mirrors China's policy towards its restive borderlands represented by Tibet and Xinjiang. The rule of Hong Kong and other borderlands in China will be understood in an analytical framework that highlights four broad policies of governing borderlands: promises of a high degree of local autonomy; extension of politico-administrative control; cultural assimilation; and economic i…

Perceived Threats and Governing Capacity
Many of the past literature on small states focus on the foreign policies and political economies of liberal democracies. This paper examines the non-liberal democracies of Singapore and Macao in their construction of national identities. Non-liberal democracies are different from their democratic counterparts in their reactions to perceived threats. Instead of forming a corporatist system to make important decisions by consensus, both Singapore …
Local Autonomy in Action
This paper investigates how Beijing governs its two special administrative regions (SARs) of Hong Kong and Macau through leverages on their local autonomy. First, a conceptual analysis of local autonomy will be provided. Local autonomy is more than a zero-sum game between the central and local authorities over how much power should be granted or taken from the local authorities; it also concerns the space for cultural expression and the use of lo…
The Paradox of Educational Quality and Education Policy in Hong Kong and Macau
This article seeks to explain a paradox concerning education qualities and reform in Hong Kong and Macau: Hong Kong is ranked higher than Macau on Program for International Student Assessment and various world university leagues. Even so, the education reform in Hong Kong is more profound and vigorous than that in Macau. From the postcolonial perspective, this article argues that the education reforms in the two cities are affected by colonial le…

Does “Good Governance” Matter? Civil Service Reform in China
This article uses the concept of governance proposed to evaluate civil service reform in China. The article examines the objectives of the reform and queries the value of promoting the practices of “good governance.” While emphasizing good governance, the reform cannot achieve the ultimate objectives of “good governance” practices because the administration is not sufficiently insulated from political influence. Political considerations often pre…
Challenges for China's Reform of Government Procurement
China's reform of government procurement aims to promote greater prudence in expenditure management through introducing transparency, accountability, and competition into the procurement process. The reform can also be construed as China's effort to fulfill its commitment to the WTO. This paper examines the evolution of the reform and measures the success of the reform against three indicators: the amount of cost reduction, the coverage of procur…
China’s economic integration into global regulatory frameworks
This paper examines the extent of China’s integration in the global economy and its ability to implement the WTO commitments by using government procurement as a case study. This paper argues that the domestic framework of government procurement has been gradually harmonized with the WTO commitments. Full implementation of the commitments has been constrained by several factors: policy elites consider government procurement to be a drive of cost …
Interest Group Politics in Macau after Handover
After the handover of sovereignty in 1999 and the exit of the Portuguese administration, pro-Beijing and pro-government interest groups formed by local Chinese dominated Macau's political landscape. The major interest groups may be classified into three clusters: business organizations, labour unions, and neighbourhood groups. This paper examines the significance of interest groups in the enclave's politics and argues that their political power w…
Implementing the Reform of Performance Appraisal in China's Civil Service
This article examines the reform of performance appraisal in China's civil service in the 1990s. It discusses the contours of the reform, namely regularization of performance procedure and indicators as well as differentiation of civil servants at different performance levels which, to a certain extent, were outcomes of local governments' innovations. This article argues that the reform implementation generated a dynamic between central policymak…

Civil Service Reform in China, 1993–2001
China's civil service reform programme inaugurated in 1993, was aimed at enhancing the state's ability to respond to new needs emerging amidst a rapidly changing socio-economic environment. This article discusses the contours of the programme and argues that its implementation process generated a dynamic between central policymakers who sought to optimise economic rationality and local leaders who placed more emphasis on coping with conflicts ari…
