Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016
Journal of US-China Public Administration, August 2016, Vol. 13, No. 8, 499-517 doi: 10.17265/1548-6591/2016.08.001 D DAVID PUBLISHING Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016 Chung Fun Steven Hung The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong After direct elections were instituted in Hong Kong, politicization inevitably followed democratization. This paper intends to evaluate how political parties’ politics happened in Hong Kong’s recent history. The research was conducted through historical comparative analysis, with the context of Hong Kong during the sovereignty transition and the interim period of democratization being crucial. For the implementation of “one country, two systems”, political democratization was hindered and distinct political scenarios of Hong Kong’s transformation were made. The democratic forces had no alternative but to seek more radicalized politics, which caused a decisive fragmentation of the local political parties where the establishment camp was inevitable and the democratic blocs were split into many more small groups individually. It is harmful. It is not conducive to unity and for the common interests of the publics. This paper explores and evaluates the political history of Hong Kong and the ways in which the limited democratization hinders the progress of Hong Kong’s transformation. Keywords: election politics, historical comparative, ruling, democratization The democratizing element of the Hong Kong political system was bounded within the Legislative Council under the principle of the separation of powers of the three governing branches, Executive, Legislative, and Judicial. Popular elections for the Hong Kong legislature were introduced and implemented for 25 years (1991-2016) and there were eight terms of general elections for the Legislative Council. -

Dissenting Media in Post-1997 Hong Kong Joyce Y.M. Nip the De
Dissenting media in post-1997 Hong Kong Joyce Y.M. Nip The de-colonization of Hong Kong took the form of Britain returning the territory to China in 1997 as a Special Administrative Region (SAR). Twenty years after the political handover, the “one country, two systems” arrangement designed by China to govern the Hong Kong SAR is facing serious challenge: Many in Hong Kong have come to regard Beijing as an unwelcome control master; and calls for self-determination have gained a substantial level of popular support. This chapter examines the role of media in this development, as exemplified by key political protest actions. It proposes the notion of “dissenting media” as a framework to integrate relevant academic and journalistic studies about Hong Kong. From the discipline of media and communications study, it suggests that operators of dissenting media are enabled to put forth information and analysis contrary to that of the establishment, which, in turn, help to form an oppositional public sphere. In the process, the identity and communities of dissent are built, maintained, and developed, contributing to the formation of a counter public that participates in oppositional political actions. Studies on the impact of media, mainly conducted in stable Anglo-American societies, tend to consider mainstream media as institutions that index1 or reinforce the status quo,2 and alternative media as forces that challenge established powers.3 In Hong Kong, the 1997 political changeover was accompanied by a reconfiguration of power relationships in line with China’s one-party dictatorship. The change runs counter to the political aspirations of the people of Hong Kong, and has bred a political movement for civil liberties, public accountability, and democracy. -
Food Waste Recycling Projects in Housing Estates Executive Summary Environmental Protection Department
Food Waste Recycling Projects in Housing Estates Executive Summary Hong Kong Productivity Council March 2016 Food Waste Recycling Projects in Housing Estates Executive Summary Environmental Protection Department Executive Summary Background 1. In February 2011, the ECF Committee endorsed the provision of funding support to the Projects with an earmarked amount of $50 million. In July 2011, the Environment and Conservation Fund (ECF) allocated $50 million as a subsidy and launched the "Food Waste Recycling Projects in Housing Estates" programme to encourage the source separation and recycling of food waste. The subsidy will provide funds to support housing estates to set up on-site food waste treatment facilities, organize food waste collection and recovery programmes and associated activities for 2-year. These projects also encourage housing estates to engage non-governmental organization (NGOs) to organize educational and promotion activities in order to raise residents' awareness towards food waste reduction and encourage their participation in food waste recovery. In Sept 2014, the earmarked amount was increased to $60 million and the extension scheme was introduced to support those satisfactorily completed project, for another 2-year subject to terms and conditions. 2. By the time of this report compilation at end of May 2015, 11 housing estates were approved for the Phase 1 Projects in November 2011. The 11 housing estates are Lung Poon Court (龍蟠苑) (FWR001), The Capitol, LOHAS Park (日出康城首都) (FWR002), Laguna Verde (海逸豪園) (FWR005), Woodland Crest (奕翠園) (FWR007), Grand Promenade (嘉亨灣) (FWR008), Braemar Hill Mansion (賽西湖大廈) (FWR011), Park Island (珀麗灣) (FWR014), Gold Coast (黃金海岸) (FWR015), Hong Lok Yuen ( 康樂園) (FWR016), Discovery Bay ( 愉景灣) (FWR017), Sereno Verde ( 蝶翠 峰)(FWR018). -

Information Paper
Extract of the minutes of Meeting between Legislative Council Members and North District Council Members held on 22 February 2001 5 Action - 5 - Compensation and rehousing issues arising from land resumption in North District 32. Mr HAU Kam-lam said that the rehousing issues arising from the land resumption in North District mainly involved two aspects. Firstly, residents affected by the clearance were required to undergo the means and assets test. In this regard, he opined that the Administration should adopt more relaxed criteria in dealing with their resettlement in public housing since they were forced to move away from their places of residence as a result of the land resumption. They did not submit any applications for public housing on their own initiative. Secondly, he considered that local rehousing should be offered to the affected clearees and sufficient schools should be provided in the vicinity for their children. He further commented that the Government lacked comprehensive planning for the land resumption exercise in North District. Very often, it only resumed a portion of a piece of farmland, factory site or commercial premises or the middle part of a lot, thus seriously affecting the original usage of land. The landowners and the occupants concerned were not offered reasonable compensation. He therefore urged LegCo Members to assist the residents of North District in seeking reasonable rehousing and compensation. 33. On the issue of local rehousing, Mr LAU Kong-wah pointed out that, according to the information provided by the Housing Department (HD) to the LegCo Secretariat, eligible residents would be rehoused within the same or adjacent district as far as practicable, subject to availability of resources. -

Social Interactions and the Dynamics of Protest Movements
Persistent Political Engagement: Social Interactions and the Dynamics of Protest Movements Leonardo Bursztyn Davide Cantoni David Y. Yang Noam Yuchtman Y. Jane Zhang* September 2020 Abstract We study the causes of sustained participation in political movements. To identify the per- sistent effect of protest participation, we randomly, indirectly incentivize Hong Kong univer- sity students into participation in an antiauthoritarian protest. To identify the role of social networks, we randomize this treatment’s intensity across major-cohort cells. We find that in- centives to attend one protest within a political movement increase subsequent protest atten- dance, but only when a sufficient fraction of an individual’s social network is also incentivized to attend the initial protest. One-time mobilization shocks have dynamic consequences, with mobilization at the social network level important for sustained political engagement.
