    Abstract: "Bringing together a team of cutting-edge researchers based in Hong Kong, Taiwan and other Asia-Oceania countries, this book focuses on the tug of war between China's influence and forces of resistance in Hong Kong, Taiwan and selected countries in the surrounding regions. China's influence has met growing defiance from citizens who fear the extinction of their valued local identities. However, the book shows that resistance to China's influence is a global phenomenon, varying in motivation and intensity from region to region and country to country depending on the forms of China's influence and the balances of forces in each society. The book also advances an integrated theoretical framework for broadly operationalizing different forms of offshore Chinese influence mechanisms, ranging from economic, military and diplomatic influences to united front operations. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of comparative politics, international relations, geopolitics, Chinese politics, Hong Kong-China relations, Taiwan, and Asian politics"--

    Abstract: “This book is a treasure. It illustrates the uniqueness of the Hong Kong budgetary system, but more importantly, convincingly places it in a comparative context— a distinctive case of territorial autonomy. The book is a must-have for the classroom adoption of any teaching related to Hong Kong politics or budgetary system.” —Professor Wang Xiaohu, City University of Hong Kong “What adds value to the book is its historical-comparative analysis of budget openness, oversight institutions and practices, and deficit/surplus politics as observed in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Singapore, in the perspective of territorial autonomy. Breaking new ground in understanding some trends and issues, and making reference to the latest international studies and methodologies, this book is theoretically vigorous and of relevance to the worldwide research in comparative budgeting as well.” —Professor Anthony B. L. Cheung, The Education University of Hong Kong This book is a comprehensive, scholarly account of Hong Kong Public Budgeting, spanning from the pre-1997 British rule to the post-1997 Chinese rule. Transcending the existing comparative budgeting studies which are either central-government focused or symmetric local-government focused, this book presents Hong Kong Public Budgeting as a distinctive case of asymmetric territorial autonomy. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of comparative budgeting studies. It will also be an excellent text for public budgeting instructors and students in East Asia and Hong Kong. Brian C.H. Fong is Associate Professor and Associate Director of The Academy of Hong Kong Studies at The Education University of Hong Kong. He is also the founding editor of Hong Kong Studies Reader Series. .

    Abstract: This book examines the socio-political conflicts which have arisen since Hong Kong’s return to China and confronts the fundamental problems in the design of the One Country, Two Systems (OCTS) Model. It considers not only the issue of democratization, but also the institutional fractures in the executive-dominant political system and the disconnection between the executive and the legislature. It describes the drastic changes which have affected social mobilization and political activism in Hong Kong, as well as the pattern of interaction between the government and civil society. Co-edited by Brian C.H. Fong and Lui Tai Lok, this edited volume brings together a team of cutting-edge researchers to examine the operation of the One Country, Two Systems (OCTS) Model in Hong Kong over the past 20 years. The discussion and analysis offered by the contributors will cast light on social and political tensions and conflicts that will continue to unfold in the coming years. This timely account, published on the 20th anniversary of the handover, will be a valuable read for students and scholars of Chinese and East Asian studies
