Description

Explore the complex political landscape of Hong Kong in this academic study from Routledge. The book examines the period following the return of Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty, focusing on the practical limits of the promised high degree of autonomy. By analyzing the relationship between the central government in Beijing and the local administration, this text identifies why the development of democracy is central to the region's political future. It examines the conceptual inadequacies found within the Basic Law, Hong Kong's mini-constitution, and explores how a lack of democratic systems correlates with a loss of local autonomy. This work provides a detailed look at the developments occurring since the handover, making it a necessary resource for students and readers interested in world history and the political evolution of the region. Understand the arguments regarding why genuine autonomy may depend on the establishment of a democratic system in Hong Kong.
