Produktbeschreibung
"Clear-minded, conversant with the international literature, and intellectually passionate, Professor Brian Fong makes a case for the study of Hong Kong Politics within comparative contexts. Hong Kong's political existence has always been atypical, not easily susceptible to conventional theorisations. The city will continue to see twists and turns in its trajectory as a special administrative region of China. Hong Kong Politics has not come to an end as some fatalists put it. Fong's book provides an overview of an era. The next era has only just begun." - Professor Anthony B. L. Cheung, former President of the Education University of Hong Kong (2008-12).
Hong Kong Politics: A Comparative Introduction is a comprehensive and pioneering guide of this emerging field. It aims to advance scholarly understanding of Hong Kong's political developments since the handover of sovereignty in 1997, using a comparative politics approach.
The book advances a unique integrated comparative framework for studying Hong Kong through geopolitical, autonomy, centre-periphery, democratisation, political-economic, and governance perspectives. It guides readers to understand and interpret the various political dimensions of Hong Kong in a comprehensive and holistic way. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of comparative politics. Experienced political researchers in Hong Kong will find this book illuminating; while comparative political scholars worldwide would also find it a handy introductory text to the important case of Hong Kong. This book is also an excellent resource for instructors and students of Asian Studies, China Studies, and Hong Kong Studies.
Brian C. H. Fong is Full Professor in the College of Social Sciences at the National Sun Yat-sen University, Taiwan. His research focuses on great power competition, democratisation, and identity politics, producing more than 80 journal articles, book chapters, authored books, and so forth. He is the author of US-China Great Power Competition in the Indo-Pacific: A Tale of Two Hegemons (Edinburgh University Press, 2024) and lead editor of The Routledge Handbook of Great Power Competition (Routledge, 2024).
