Be Water: Collective Improvisation in Hong Kong’s Anti-Extradition Protests
United Front, Clientelism, and Indirect Rule: Theorizing the Role of the “Liaison Office” in Hong Kong
United front organizations in Hong Kong have evolved into a form of patron-client network, with the Liaison Office of the Central People’s Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (Liaison Office) assuming the role of the patron. Possessing the capacity to penetrate into the community and offer patronage goods, these organizations have become the basis for the Liaison Office to build a political machine, discipline elites and mai…
Public Policymaking in Hong Kong: Civic Engagement and State-Society Relations in a Semi-Democracy
Why and how has civic engagement emerged in the policy process of Hong Kong as an Asian semi-democratic state? This book attempts to answer this question through examining six cases that straddle diverse policy domains. It identifies three explanatory factors, namely, the profile of a policy domain, the structure of societal interest, and the strength of the civil society sector as important in shaping the state’s strategy in managing society, he…

The New Public Management reform of state-funded social service nonprofit organizations and the changing politics of welfare in Hong Kong
What are the political impact and significance of New Public Management (NPM) reform on social service nonprofit organizations (NPOs) in Hong Kong? Social service NPOs have a long history as a significant part of Hong Kong’s ‘welfare mix’, not only in their role as state agents in the provision of service, but also because of their political and societal roles in affecting social policy making during the colonial era. The exercise of such agencie…
Development of the Nonprofit Sector in Hong Kong and Singapore: A Comparison of Two Statist-corporatist Regimes
This article compares the development of the non-profit sector in two Asian city-states, namely Singapore and Hong Kong. Adapting the classification scheme of the ‘social origins’ theory, we argue that their non-profit regimes can be characterized as ‘statist-corporatist’, which is conceptually distinguishable from the ‘societal-corporatist’ regimes that are more commonly found in some European states. We will identify the factors shaping the his…
Welfare restructuring in Asian newly industrialised countries: A comparison of Hong Kong and Singapore
English This article studies the patterns of welfare restructuring in Asian newly industrialised countries (NICs) in reaction to economic globalisation and socioeconomic change through a comparative study of Hong Kong and Singapore. It argues that Hong Kong has gone through a budget-driven restructuring resulting in the retrenchment of its residual welfare state, while Singapore has undergone a policy-driven restructuring that aims to consolidate…
The New Public Management Reform and Governance in Asian NICs: A Comparison of Hong Kong and Singapore1
This article compares the New Public Management (NPM) reform in Hong Kong and Singapore. First of all, it highlights how the macroeconomic environment, the political system, and state traditions, factors that are commonly identified as affecting the pattern of NPM reform in western liberal democracies, assume different contexts and significance in affecting reform in Asian states. With these general factors, we further compare the NPM reform of t…
The Politics of Welfare Developmentalism in Hong Kong
As an Asian late industrializer, Hong Kong has shared many common characteristics with its counterparts in their welfare system, such as low government spending on welfare, emphasis on self-reliance and the family as informal carers, ideological rejection of welfare as a matter of social right and the primacy given to economic development. The inadequacy of the Asian welfare model was obscured by sustained economic growth, which provided for full…
Nonprofit Development in Hong Kong: The Case of a Statist?Corporatist Regime
This paper adapts Salamon, Sokolowski, and Anheier’s social origins theory to argue that the nonprofit regime in Hong Kong can be characterized as statist–corporatist. This statist–corporatist regime displays the hybrid character of both a statist and a corporatist regime: its statist character can be seen in the high degree of autonomy of the state, its tendency to limit freedom of association, and the low commitment to social provision. Its cor…
The Renegotiation of the Social Pact in Hong Kong: Economic Globalisation, Socio-economic Change, and Local Politics
This article discusses the politics of social policy development in Hong Kong following the Asian financial crisis. It examines the cause, mode and political significance of social policy reform in an Asian late industrialiser that has been experiencing the twin pressures of economic globalisation and socio-economic change. Financial austerity has prompted the state to adopt social policy reforms through re-commodification and cost containment, r…
Gender and Political Participation in Hong Kong
This article makes an assessment of the state of gender equality in political participation in Hong Kong by analyzing data collected from a territory-wide survey done in 1996. The scope of analysis is broadened to include public participation at the grassroots level and to forms of public participation that are non-political but may have political implications. Three major categories of public activity are studied, namely, community participation…
