  • Hong Kong's National Security
    FEBRUARY 2021 HONG KONG’S NATIONAL SECURITY LAW: A Human Rights and Rule of Law Analysis by Lydia Wong and Thomas E. Kellogg THE NATIONAL SECURITY LAW constitutes one of the greatest threats to human rights and the rule of law in Hong Kong since the 1997 handover. This report was researched and written by Lydia Wong (alias, [email protected]), research fellow, Georgetown Center for Asian Law; and Thomas E. Kellogg ([email protected]), executive director, Georgetown Center for Asian Law, and adjunct professor of law, Georgetown University Law Center.

  • Demanding Dialogue: Political Struggle in the 21 Century Hong Kong
    Demanding Dialogue: Political Struggle in the 21st Century Hong Kong Kaisa Oksanen Master’s thesis Social and Public Policy Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy University of Jyväskylä, Finland October 2004 SUMMARY Kaisa Oksanen Demanding Dialogue: Political Struggle in the 21st Century Hong Kong Master’s thesis in Social and Public Policy Department of Social Sciences and Philosophy University of Jyväskylä October 2004 91 pages The focus of this study is to examine the political discussion in nowadays Hong Kong. Research period is from year 1997 to 2004, concentrating on years 2003 and 2004. The massive democracy rally in July 2003 is seen as a culmination of this development started in the 1997 handover. Theoretical frame is the discussion around civil society, social movements, political development and democracy in Hong Kong. Main methodology is rhetoric and argumentation analysis, which is based primarily on the work of Stephen Toulmin and Pekka Korhonen’s adaptation of Toulmin’s apparatus. Also Manuel Castells has provided interesting views on social movements and their impact on society and politics. The research theme is very topical; democracy has been very much in public during recent years in Hong Kong. This is a study of rhetoric, so here is analysed the argumentation rising from the Hong Kong society. The basic rhetorical apparatus includes three different factors, claim, data and warrant, which are used to build up an analysis of acts of Hong Kong societal groups like the pro-democracy movement or the administration. Main results of the study are constructed to seven rhetorical categories including both the views of the civil society and the government.
