Description

This Routledge book examines Hong Kong's complex political status following its return to Chinese sovereignty, analysing how the promised high degree of autonomy has faced significant limitations. The work explores China's concerns regarding democratic development in Hong Kong and identifies conceptual gaps within the Basic Law, Hong Kong's mini-constitution, that correlate democratic deficits with reduced autonomy. The author argues that genuine autonomy from Beijing's central government cannot be achieved without a functioning democratic system in Hong Kong. By examining post-handover developments, the book provides critical insight into the structural tensions between the One Country, Two Systems framework and the practical realities of governance, making it essential reading for students and scholars of international law, political science, and Asian affairs.

Key Features

Examines the Basic Law's conceptual inadequacies and their correlation with democratic limitations and reduced autonomy.

Argues that genuine autonomy from Beijing requires a democratic system in Hong Kong, exploring this central thesis through post-handover developments.
