Publisher's Synopsis
Development of democracy is often taken to mean rising political participation in an open society. Containing rich historical data on political participation in Hong Kong since the colonial days, this book devotes several chapters to the discussion of the socio-cultural determinants of political participation in Hong Kong. This volume is a valuable reference about the 'One-country two-systems' concept and China's policy towards Hong Kong. The book is suitable for courses on Asian studies or on political development.
