Hong Kong's Governance Under Chinese Sovereignty: The Failure of the State-Business Alliance After 1997
ISBN: 9780415738286 / Angielski / Twarda / 278 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. As a hybrid regime, Hong Kong has been governed by a state-business alliance since the colonial era. However, since the handover in 1997, the transformation of Hong Kong's political and socio-economic environment has eroded the conditions that supported a viable state-business alliance. This state-business alliance, which was once a solution for Hong Kong's governance, has now become a political burden, rather than a political asset, to the post-colonial Hong Kong state. This book presents a critical re-examination of the post-1997 governance crisis in Hong Kong under the Tung Chee-hwa and...

Tuairim, Intellectual Debate and Policy Formulation: Rethinking Ireland, 1954-75
ISBN: 9780719095436 / Angielski / Miękka / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The 1950s and 1960s were a transformative phase in modern Irish history.

This book considers this change. It explores how from its formation in 1954 the intellectual movement Tuairim ('opinion' in Irish) was at the vanguard of the challenge to orthodoxy and conservatism. Tuairim initiated and contributed to debates on issues as diverse as Northern Ireland, administrative...

In the cases of terrorism, Russia, and China, Western leaders appreciate aspects of these perils, but they are crafting unduly soft policies to deal with the challenges.
