hong kong sar：in pursuit of domestic and international order

There are already many books on Hong Kong's future. But this volume has a distinct contribution to make by offering an analysis of the evolving political order in Hong Kong and its international role. The team of authors come from tertiary institutions within and outside Hong Kong, and they all have been studying the territory for many years.

The authors focus on the plans of the Chinese authorities and the expectations of Hong Kong people. The gap between the two and the associated difficulties are then analysed. The authors also examine the possibilities of crises emerging, as well as the contingency plans formulated to deal with them.

While each chapter attempts to establish a theoretical framework and consider the relevant theories, the authors have in mind a readership including scholars, professionals and the general public interested in Hong Kong studies and developments in the territory at this crucial stage.
