Selective Expansion in a Restrictive Migration Regime: Adoption, Implementation, and Revision of the British National (Overseas) Visa Route in the United Kingdom
The British National (Overseas) visa route, introduced in 2021 amid political change in Hong Kong, has been read as either humanitarian protection or skilled-migration strategy. This article instead analyzes the route as selective expansion within a restrictive migration regime.

Through transimperial comparison, it analyzes how different imperial powers approached cultural governance within the same colonial space, contrasting Japanese deliberate cultural intervention with previous British administra…

However, concerns have been raised about the sustainability of bagpiping culture in the post‐colonial era.

Bagpiping and Politics in Hong Kong: A Case Study of Cultural Suppression under Authoritarian Rule
This article examines the symbolic relationship between bagpiping and politics in Hong Kong over the past 25 years, from 1997 to 2022.

The article argues that suppressing these cultural traditions was part of China's broader efforts to exert ideologic…
Chris Patten, The Hong Kong Diaries: London: Penguin, 2022
Twenty-five years after Chris Patten left Hong Kong as its last governor, following the handover to China, his legacy is still being debated. For many Hongkongers, especially the younger generation, Patten has done an honourable thing by emphasising the importance of liberal democracy and bringing political reform to Hong Kong. Many “China Hands” in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and officials in China still hate Patten, as they believe he h…
Beyond Factories and Laboratories: Reflecting the Relationships Between Archivists and Historians
In her influential article published in 2016, Alexandra Walsham, Professor of Modern History at the University of Cambridge, coined the metaphor that ‘Archives are the factories and laboratories of the historian’. Traditionally viewed as neutral storehouses of official records passively awaiting historians’ scrutiny, conceptions of archives have expanded in recent decades. Archives are now understood as complex social and cultural entities that a…

Decriminalising homosexuality in Singapore: Political responses from the perspective of secularism and electoral pragmatism
Singapore’s Section 377A criminalises sex between men, making it punishable by up to two years in prison. Over the years, there have been calls to repeal the law and decriminalise homosexuality, citing human rights, access to health care and social support. However, opponents argue that it goes against traditional and religious values and would lead to a breakdown of social order. The article explores the issue of, and the political responses to,…
The internet’s role in promoting civic engagement in China and Singapore: A Confucian view
This paper discusses the Internet’s role in promoting civic engagement in Asian countries. China and Singapore were selected because they have similar ethnic groups and cultural backgrounds. This paper concludes that the Internet has a limited role in promoting civic engagement due to Internet censorship and people’s political attitudes, which are deeply rooted for Confucian cultural reasons. Moreover the Internet censorship does not bother peopl…
Hong Kong, Canzuk, and Commonwealth: The United Kingdom’s role in defending freedom and the global order under ‘Global Britain’
With the deteriorating political situation in Hong Kong in recent years, some measures have been imposed on China by Britain, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand (CANZUK). These have included a joint statement to condemn China and providing a route for Hongkongers to emigrate. This paper takes Hong Kong as an example to explain how Britain can reconnect the Commonwealth by taking a leading role in defending democracy and freedom under the ‘post-Br…
City of Skywalks: Exploring Hong Kong's Public Space and Power of Discourse from Footbridges
As a public space and building, the footbridge is not just a physical concrete building but also carries people's life experiences and beliefs. In Hong Kong, however, footbridges are a joint product of the government and property developers to control people and drive consumption. Taking the footbridge as an example, this article explores the relationship between public space and the power of discourse. The article first discusses how the governm…
The policy process model and the systems model in monarchy: The case of the United Kingdom and Saudi Arabia
By taking two monarchy countries as examples, this paper discusses the differences and similarities of the policy process model and the systems model. The difference has first been discussed. Policies in the United Kingdom can be applied to the policy process model, due to the fact that step-by-step policymaking procedures can be observed during the policymaking process in the United Kingdom. The case shows that policies made by countries with de…

The Government’s plan provoked many controversies and eventually failed. This paper will examine the problem of the welfare ideology and system in Hong Kong from a historical perspective, taking the universal pension scheme as an example. This paper ar…
Was Governor Maclehose a Great Architect of Modern Hong Kong
Murray MacLehose, the 25th Governor of Hong Kong, was the longest-serving Governor in the history of Hong Kong. MacLehose proposed and implemented a series of policies that brought significant reforms to Hong Kong. These reforms included housing, transportation, anti-corruption, welfare, and education. The reforms did not only improve people's living standards, but also created for Hong Kong people a sense of belonging to the colony. While the ma…
Nationality diversity and leader–Member exchange at multiple levels of analysis: Test of a cross-level model
Purpose The diversity literature has yet to investigate relationships between diversity and leader–member exchanges (LMX) at multiple levels of analysis. The purpose of this paper is to test a multilevel model of nationality diversity and LMX. In doing so, the authors investigate the role of surface- and deep-level diversity as related to leader–member exchange differentiation (LMXD) and relative LMX (RLMX), and hence to subordinate job performan…
