Despite their close economic relationship since 1965, their conflicting historic and political relationships and deep-seated prejudice against each other have continued. The Korean government’s official ban on the direct import of Japanese cultural products existed until 1997, but various kinds of Japanese cultural products, including popular music, found their way into Korea through various legal and illegal routes and influenced contemporary Korean popular culture. Since 1998, under Korea’s Open- Door Policy, legally available Japanese popular cultural products became widely consumed, especially among young Koreans fascinated by Japan’s quintessentially postmodern popular culture, despite lingering resentments towards Japan.

Through the concerted efforts of the Government and different sectors of the community for more than 30 years, the general public are aware of the health hazards of smoking and a supportive atmosphere for smoking cessation has been successfully created across the territory. The Smoking (Public Health) Ordinance was enacted in 1982, a key milestone for tobacco control legislation in Hong Kong. Since its enactment, the Government has adopted a progressive and multi-pronged approach on tobacco control which aligns with the MPOWER measures suggested by the World Health Organization. The smoking prevalence in Hong Kong has gradually reduced from 23.3% in the early 1980s to 10.5% in 2015, which is one of the lowest in the world. Thirty-five years ago, both indoor and outdoor places were smoky and hazy.

  • I. Definition, Methodology and Background
    Political Groups/Organizations CHAPTER 6 POLITICAL GROUPS/ORGANIZATIONS Yan Yan YIP and Jennifer LEE I. Definition, Methodology and Background Definition of the Sector 1 The definition of political groups/organizations applied in this study follows the elaborated International Classification of Non-profit Organizations (ICNPO) adopted by John Hopkins University, with slight modifications to suit the local environment. The elaborated ICNPO groups law, advocacy and politics into one sector. However, these subgroups possess quite distinct features in Hong Kong and thus are split into three separate groups in this study: “Law and Legal Services”, “Civic and Advocacy Organizations” and “Politics”.1 Nonetheless, the description of political organizations used by ICNPO largely remains unchanged and is applied to this study. 2 The term political groups in this study refers to groups that mainly organize activities and provide services to support putting candidates into political office, for example, into the Legislative Council and/or the National People’s Congress. According to the above classification, political groups include all political parties and other political organizations in Hong Kong that perform the functions stated above. It is noteworthy that councillors’ offices and the activities organized by the offices will not be counted even if the councillors have political affiliation because they are public office holders. Also, independent politicians and their offices are not examined in this study as they are not a group. 3 There may be a general impression that a number of labour unions, trade unions and some civic or advocacy groups should also belong to the political sector. However, not all unions and civic groups support candidates into political office.

  • Diasporas and Transnationalism
    METROPOLIS WORLD BULLETIN September 2006 Volume 6 Diasporas and Transnationalism Disponible en français à www.metropolis.net Diasporas and Transnationalism HOWARD DUNCAN Executive Head, Metropolis Project and Co-Chair, Metropolis International Steering Committee hose of us who follow international migration are once again paying attention to transnational communities T or, as we have now come to use this term, diasporas. The contexts of the discussions are many, an indication in itself of the new centrality of diasporas for us. These terms immediately connote homeland connections which is the main reason for our interest in them. But, whereas in previous years the academic interest in the immigrant diaspora was on the social and economic relations within the group, we are now seeing a growing interest in relations between diaspora groups and the members of the destination society. From one point of view, the tie to a homeland may be regarded as a counter force to full integration and citizenship in the society of destination. For societies that prefer temporary forms of residence, however, the draw of homeland might instil greater public confidence in a state’s immigration program. But the question has become whether internal diaspora relations affect the integration or degree of attachment that immigrants feel towards their new homes. We hope that this issue of the Metropolis World Bulletin will help us to appreciate the wide scope of transnationalism and the policy implications of this phenomenon. Regardless of one’s particular take on these communities, it is crucial to understand how transnational communities function and what are their actual effects both upon destination societies and upon the homeland.

  • Eating Huaqiao” and the Left Behind: the Moral and Social-Economic Consequences of the Return of Overseas Chinese to a South China Village
    “Eating Huaqiao” and the Left Behind: the moral and social-economic consequences of the return of Overseas Chinese to a South China Village Meixuan Chen UCL Thesis submitted for the examination of Doctor of Philosophy July 2013 I, Meixuan Chen, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. 2 Abstract This thesis draws on 18 months of participation observation in a Hakka-speaking, lineage-dominated village in Guangdong Province in South China. It is concerned with the perspective of the village locals interacting with the return of huaqiao (Overseas Chinese) since the 1980s. Huaqiao contribute significantly to the village infrastructure and welfare provision. This thesis asks: do lineage-village community traditions and values necessarily hinder the individualisation process; and how do we understand the individualistic pursuits in the notionally communal projects? The thesis documents the moral, socio-economic impact of the return of Overseas Chinese on the local villagers. This is done by examining key events, individuals and rituals. The ethnographic data includes the disputed demolition of a public building and the naming of private houses; two key individuals, a vengeful son who returned and an “actually existing matriarch”; and the co-existing practices of earth burial and cremation. The thesis analyses the power of lineage elite elders; individualism and traditional collectivism; the local logic of success and bitterness; women’s power in the lineage-dominated community and social differentiation. The return of huaqiao exposes the dual nature of village practices and events, which are often seen as communal and family projects.

  • The Chronological Development of Parent Empowerment in Children's
    Asia Pacific Education Review Copyright 2007 by Education Research Institute 2007, Vol. 8, No.3, 487-499. The Chronological Development of Parent Empowerment in Children’s Education in Hong Kong Shun-wing NG Hong Kong Institute of Education Hong Kong The decentralization of the power of school governance is one of the recent trends of educational development in a global society in which the notion of parents as stakeholders and partners of state education is being gradually recognized, albeit at different paces, in several Asian countries. This paper attempts to analyze the chronological development of parent empowerment in Hong Kong. By examining the education policy documents of Hong Kong in the last three decades and looking into related debates in education reforms, the author conceptualizes five phases of development of parent empowerment which include (1) the period of absolute quiescence and acquiescence; (2) the period of wakefulness of parents’ rights and responsibilities, (3) the period of enhancing communication; (4) the period of accountability; and (5) the period of parents as partners. Key words: parent empowerment, parent involvement, education reform, home-school cooperation 1 Introduction Education Commission, 1996; Ng, 2001). After 1985, the emphasis of educational restructuring has been placed For the last two decades, there have been rapid social, mainly on the assurance of education quality, to which the economic and political changes and developments in Hong government has allocated a great deal of funding aimed at Kong. Accordingly, the education environment has been improving the teaching environment. Cheng (2007) changed quickly; thus, education goals and tasks have conceptualized the period of the 1990s as emphasizing the become more complex and demanding (Cheng, 1996).
