Routledge - The Constitutional History of Macau Book

While much of the world focuses on Hong Kong, the constitutional development of Macau remains a vital area of study. This book from the Globalization: Law and Policy series examines the unique balance of the One Country, Two Systems (OCTS) policy within the People's Republic of China. It explores how Macau functions as a Special Administrative Region (SAR) distinct from its sister region in Hong Kong. Readers gain a deeper understanding of the circumstances surrounding Macau's governance, including the stagnation of representational government and the specific characteristics found within the Macau Basic Law. By analyzing the transition from Portuguese administration to Chinese administration, this text provides a clear look at the legal and political history that shapes the region today. This work is an essential resource for anyone studying international law, Chinese policy, or the specific constitutional narratives of autonomous regions.
