Opis

This volume in 15 chapters serves as a useful overview of various significant aspects of the new trends of political participation in Hong Kong. Written by a team of experts who have been astute observers of Hong Kong politics, the book covers a wide spectrum of topics ranging from a conventional understanding of political participation (e.g., activities of political parties and interest groups) to a more specialised form of participation (i.e., relations between government and legislators in policy-making). The study of the rise of new social movements by the post-80s generation will be of particular interest to those who are keen to comprehend the sharpening inter-generational differences.With a readership of academics and university students, this will also be a useful reference for the media, policy-makers and anyone interested in Hong Kong politics.
