Globalizing Comparative Public Administration With Integrative Contextualization
The lack of a common variable for comparison has been a major obstacle to the development of Comparative Public Administration (CPA). State autonomy enables an integrative contextualization approach, allowing both the analysis of contextual individual country experiences and the generation of generalized comparable knowledge. To empirically validate this approach and illustrate the utility of a common independent variable, this article adopts sta…
AI Policy Models in China and the United States
Trends in Political Science Research
The rise of AI-driven voter disinformation and its impact on democracies is increasingly concerning. The existing literature raises serious concerns that extend beyond the scope of elections to include the broader impacts of AI misuse on democratic systems. This article will discuss the issues within the international context of global power competition in a polarized world marked by confrontation between democracies and authoritarian regimes. Ce…
When the state fails, bureaucrats and civil society step up
This article examines the importance of an autonomous bureaucracy and a strong civil society in the combat against COVID-19 by analysing the policy responses of Hong Kong under the combined framework of policy capacity and Political Nexus Triads (PNT). The case of Hong Kong underlines the importance of state–society interactions in constituting policy responses under a weak or failed state. From the perspective of collaborative governance, it is …

Advocacy Coalitions, Policy Stability, and Policy Change in China
This study used the advocacy coalition framework (ACF) to explain stability and change in China's national birth control policy from 1980 to 2015. We found that policy remained stable, despite internal and external changes to the relevant subsystem, from 1980 to 2013. The stability was explained by the dominant advocacy coalition's mobilization of considerable resources to defend its policy core beliefs. Policy changes in 2013 and 2015 were cause…
Japan's F-35 Acquisition and the Arms Race in the Western Pacific
The F-35 is a game-changing American fighter jet developed to penetrate present day air defences by evading radar detection. In the face of a resurgent China and assertive Russia, Japan is in the process of acquiring the largest fleet of this jet outside of the United States, thrusting it into a position in which it is able to compete with its regional rivals for military supremacy. Despite its technological capabilities, the F-35 has been plague…

Political Marketing in Macao
To what extent can political marketing narrow the legitimacy gap for a hybrid regime? This article examines this question through the case of Macao (2009–14). It finds that political marketing is insufficient to compensate for lack of democratic reform and may easily backfire to expose the problem of a structural legitimacy deficit

Contemporary Hong Kong government and politics

Contemporary Hong Kong Politics
Institutional root of the chinese budget crisis
Although the Chinese economy has experienced a strong and rapid growth due to the success of its economic reform, the Chinese central government faces a stern fiscal decline. The fiscal problem has undermined the ability of the central government in completing many crucial governing tasks. By examining the institutional root of the fiscal problem, this paper argues that the fiscal decline is part of the ironic corollary of the decentralization st…
Contemporary Hong Kong Politics
This book is a project by the Hong Kong Political Science Association. The politics of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) have often been turbulent in the decade since the 1997 handover. The book presents an analysis of the main strands of continuity and change during the period. It looks first at the core institutions of the SAR, focusing on the executive, legislature, judiciary, civil service, District Councils, and advisory an…
Does E‐Government Promote Accountability? A Comparative Analysis of Website Openness and Government Accountability
Under the global pressure of information technology, the adoption of web‐based technologies in public administration has created a new government‐and‐citizen interface. However, whether e‐government will unambiguously lead to a more transparent, interactive, open and hence, accountable, government remains a central question. Applying a framework of global pressure effects on bureaucratic change, this paper conducts an empirical study on website o…
Did how we learn affect what we learn
This article explores the question of “did how we learn affect what we learn in social science?” through a case study of economic development research. Total dependence on a single method can be a dangerous practice as the method may dictate research findings and make it impossible to eliminate the rival hypothesis of methodological bias. When the multimethod approach is preferred, a mechanical application of multiple methods will not make it bet…
Effects of Global Pressures on Public Bureaucracy
This article develops the authors’ existing theoretical framework for comparative analysis into a testable empirical model and shows how the model can be implemented for empirical inquiry through two case studies. According to this framework, the social, economic, and political systems that make up the domestic context act to filter global pressures that cause bureaucratic change. Based on the model, the article develops hypotheses predicting the…
Global Information Technology Pressure and Government Accountability
To what extent and in what ways does the global information technology revolution affect the openness and accountability of public organizations? Adopting a model of the effects of global pressure on public bureaucracy (Welch and Wong 1998) as the theoretical framework, this study combines two streams of research and sources of data-the Cyberspace Policy Research Group‘s (CyPRG) comparative analysis of website openness and Ferrel Heady’s(1996) cl…
"Comments on "The Federal Line Item Veto
Robert Reischauer and Phil Joyce's The Federal Line Item Veto: What Is It and What Will It Do? (Public Administration Review, March/April 1997) is a very informative and useful piece for both researchers and practitioners. However, even though the article provides a careful explanation of the federal line-item veto, it is inadequate in providing a good framework of analysis for researchers to follow in evaluating Its effects. One problem with eva…
Market-Based Reforms in Government
The classical concept that reconciles a free and sovereign people with the authority of government is the social contract. Increasingly, governments are pursuing alternative approaches to public service delivery with the hope of achieving greater effectiveness and efficiency. This article posits that market-based reforms reduce traditional conceptualizations of the social contract between citizens and government to one between citizens, governmen…
Public Administration in a Global Context
Public bureaucracies operate increasingly in a global environment that requires greater communication and cooperation among nations. This globalization of public administration has highlighted the parochial nature of much of the literature, which was written to apply to one nation or to a small group of similar countries. When literature that was designed for the West or for Europe is applied to non-Western nations, it rarely fits well, exaggerat…
