Book Synopsis Understanding the Political Culture of Hong Kong: The Paradox of Activism and Depoliticization by : Lam Wai-man
Download or read book Understanding the Political Culture of Hong Kong: The Paradox of Activism and Depoliticization written by Lam Wai-man. This book was released on 2015-06-03. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the widely held belief that Hong Kong's political culture is one of indifference. The term "political indifference" is used to suggest the apathy, naivete, passivity, and utilitarianism of Hong Kong's people toward political life. Taking a broad historical look at political participation in the former colony, Wai-man Lam argues that this is not a valid view and demonstrates Hong Kong's significant political activism in thirteen selected case studies covering 1949 through the present. Through in-depth analysis of these cases she provides a new understanding of the nature of Hong Kong politics, which can be described as a combination of political activism and a culture of depoliticization.

Book Synopsis Hong Kong's Tortuous Democratization by : Ming Sing
Download or read book Hong Kong's Tortuous Democratization written by Ming Sing. This book was released on 2004-08-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book raises interesting questions about the process of democratization in Hong Kong. It asks why democracy has been so long delayed when Hong Kong's level of socio-economic development has become so high. It relates democratization in Hong Kong to wider studies of the democratization process elsewhere, and it supplements the received wisdom - that democracy was delayed because of colonial rule and by the opposition of China - with new thinking, for example, that its quasi-bureaucratic authoritarian political structure vested power in bureaucrats who refused to have top-down democratization; a politically weak civil society and a non-participant political culture that crippled bottom-up democratization; plus the division between pro-democratic civil society and political society.
