Public Policymaking in Hong Kong - Civic Engagement and State-Society Relations in a Semi-Democracy

This book discusses civic engagement and public policymaking in postcolonial Hong Kong. Utilizing case studies of citizens' advisory committees involving four policy areas - urban planning, social welfare policy, environmental protection, and arts and culture policy - it examines the interaction between the state and civil society, and explores how far the state opens up its policy process for citizens' participation.
