HONG KONG’S HOUSING POLICY : A CASE STUDY IN SOCIAL JUSTICE

名人推薦：

"The book is unique in considering social justice and housing in this depth... It would certainly appear on reading lists and have an international appeal because of the considered philosophical coverage." – Dr Peter King, De Montfort University, author of A Social Philosophy of Housing and Private Dwelling

"Philosophy and policy are rarely connected in academic debate. Yet, as this study demonstrates, policy development and policy consequences involve fundamental questions of moral and political philosophy. In this original and insightful study, Dr. Yung asks, What is a just housing policy? In doing so, she applies different theories of social justice to an examination of the evolution of housing policies in Hong Kong. This is a challenging book which offers a new perspective to the policy studies literature." – Professor Ray Forrest, University of Bristol

"In a society where economic growth triumphs, the question of social justice is seldom studied. This book fills an important gap by exploring the important question of justice in the housing policy of Hong Kong. Applying the principles of social justice to the evaluation of social policy is a necessary but difficult task. The book is clear in argument, assessable in style, and rich in details. Through interdisciplinary research, it contributes to the literature of applied social philosophy and social policy study." – Professor Joseph C.W. Chan, The University of Hong Kong
