Work-integrated learning in non-professional degrees: Evidence from twelve cohorts of social sciences internships in Hong Kong
This study examines how credit-bearing internships embedded in social sciences programmes can foster career readiness and improve graduate employability among undergraduates in Hong Kong’s performance-driven higher education system. Drawing on thematic analysis of longitudinal data from five sources across twelve cohorts (2012–2023), comprising student evaluation surveys, internship partner feedback, faculty reflective records, programme committe…
Chinese and Japanese Capitalisms: A Comparative Analysis of Co-ordination Problems in Vehicle Electrification Paths
This article investigates the divergent automobile electrification trajectories of China and Japan, the world’s largest car exporters. Inspired by Regulation Theory approaches, it analyses how their capitalisms’ distinct configurations of socio-economic institutions, including state–economic relations, labour relations, inter-firm competition, financial regimes and the integration into the global economy, have produced different electrification a…
The Developmental Social Policy Standstill: Cash Payout Schemes Amid the Covid‐19 Pandemic in Four East Asian Economies
In response to the Covid‐19 pandemic, the governments of Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea implemented direct cash disbursements to citizens in 2020 and 2021. This paper assesses whether these near‐simultaneous universal cash payout schemes presage a broader transformation in the welfare paradigm of these East Asian economies, traditionally viewed as minimal‐welfare developmental states. Our analysis finds that economic stimulus, rather t…
Chinese Domestic Politics and the Internationalization of the Renminbi
ONE OF THE MOST NOTABLE DEVELOPMENTS in contemporary international monetary affairs is undoubtedly the internationalization of the Chinese currency, the renminbi (RMB), which has progressed significantly since the global financial crisis of 2008–2009. Although RMB internationalization (henceforth RMBI) has slowed somewhat since mid-2015, and its future has as a consequence become more uncertain, the RMB’s position as a global payment currency did…
Hong Kong in China’s Financial Globalization
This article casts new light on the role played by post-handover Hong Kong in China’s financial globalization. The power of the city’s markets aside, Hong Kong possesses critical political leverage that has facilitated Beijing’s liberalizing of its domestic capital market and its projection of international financial power
Local interests meet global regime: China’s subnational politics in clean development mechanism of Kyoto Protocol
As the Kyoto Protocol enters its second commitment phase, local states are adapting to the new reality. An analysis of the responses of three provincial authorities (Guangdong, Zhejiang and Shanghai) demonstrates that local authorities of China have sought project development that offers capital and technological transfers from Annexe 1 parties made possible by the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), one of the flexibility mechanisms of the global…
Two Tales of China’s Sport Diplomacy: Post-Handover Hong Kong and Macau Special Administrative Regions Compared
The resumption of China’s sovereignty over Hong Kong and Macau did not put an end to the territories’ historic international connections. As special administrative regions (SARs), they have remained active and visible in different global sporting arenas, except for one remarkable aspect – their niche in China’s multilateral sport diplomacy. Whereas Macau has been leveraged by the Chinese authorities to fortify ties with the Lusophone world, best …
Public Diplomacy Strategies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics and the 2012 London Olympics: A Comparative Study
The various ‘global events’ China has hosted in recent years, most notably the Beijing Olympics, have sparked debate on the country's projection of soft power and invited easy conclusions that China's global public diplomacy has successfully seduced the world via its rich traditional culture and astounding modernisation. A comparison with the London Olympic Games, however, would suggest otherwise. Not only do the two Games differ in relation to t…
China's "Green GDP" Experiment and the Struggle for Ecological Modernisation
The ongoing conflict between the goals of environmental conservation and economic growth in China is partly a conflict between state agencies charged with these contrasting missions. In recent years, state environmental agencies attempted to implement a green national accounting (green GDP) exercise to publicise the extent to which environment-related costs of economic activity reduce actual GDP, and to promote a more comprehensive and realistic …
