Enhancing the social innovation ecosystem: University-led incubation pathways for rural sustainability
Understanding the pathways for scaling rural innovations: Insights from 34 rural revitalization cases in Asia
Despite a growing number of innovative rural revitalization practices in Asia, the patterns and mechanisms through which such innovations are scaled have not been thoroughly explored. This study distinguishes three forms of rural innovation scaling, namely expansion, replication, and translation, and examines 34 rural revitalization efforts across eight Asian jurisdictions to identify robust pathways associated with each scaling form. Using fuzzy…
Breaking down purchasing intentions: Selecting policy instruments for sustainable consumption
Despite the breadth of sustainability issues, research on sustainable consumption mostly concentrates on environmental-orientated consumption and values. Alongside environmentally oriented approaches, policies mixes encouraging sustainable consumption need to account for socially responsible purchasing behaviour, such as ensuring inclusivity, as well as for the cognitive biases and heuristics underpinning such practices. This study investigates c…

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?

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 Role of the Nonprofit Sector in Hong Kong’s Development
The recent handover of Hong Kong to the People’s Republic of China (PRC) brought Hong Kong worldwide attention and scrutiny. In the run up to the handover, the international media prominently featured stories about Hong Kong’s freewheeling capitalism and the stability created by its administrative institutions. Lost in the media attention was the role of nonprofit organizations and the voluntary sector in Hong Kong’s political and economic develo…
The Politics of Structural Reform in Hong Kong: An Institutional Perspective
Hong Kong is an excellent case for illustrating how historical and institutional contexts affect public-sector reform. The formulation and implementation of structural reform programs have been heavily influenced by the Sino-British agreement in 1984 to revert the sovereignty of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1997. In using Hong Kong to illustrate the value of institutional analysis in understanding the polictics of structur…
