  • Reviewing and Evaluating the Direct Elections to the Legislative Council and the Transformation of Political Parties in Hong Kong, 1991-2016

    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.

    Analyzing China's Rejection of the South China Sea Arbitration

    CHINA CAN SAY “NO”: ANALYZING CHINA’S REJECTION OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA ARBITRATION Toward A New Era of International Law with Chinese Characteristics Isaac B. Kardon* At least since the 2008 global financial crisis, the People’s Republic of China (“PRC”) has been feeling its oats on the world stage. After decades of “reform and opening” to ever-deeper integration into global affairs, China is now shaping the international system as much as that system is shaping China. The “engagement” thesis— variations on the idea that China’s sustained participation in interlocking Western-dominated institutions will produce a more liberal, compliant, and cooperative China (Economy and Oksenberg 1999, Kent 2007, Johnston 2008)—is all but historical artifact. Now equipped with ample experience and outsized capacity, China can give as well as they get on the global stage. Operating at impressive scale in economic, security, and diplomatic arenas, Chinese actors and organizations are now major players who drive the agenda. Deng Xiaoping’s dictum to never seek leadership (绝不 当头) is no longer operative as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) publicly touts China’s role as a global leader with major ambitions.1 PRC diplomats are no longer so reticent and have announced *Isaac B.

  • Quality Control in International Fact-Finding Outside Criminal Justice for Core International Crimes

    Quality Control in International Fact-Finding Outside Criminal Justice for Core International Crimes

    130522 Quality Control in International Fact-Finding Outside Criminal Justice for Core International Crimes The 2013 LI Haopei Lecture and Seminar A seminar organized by the Forum for International Criminal and Humanitarian Law, the European University Institute, and Peking University International Law Institute, on 20 May 2013, 09:00-18:00, at The Refectory, Badia Fiesolana, European University Institute, Florence. There are academic efforts under way to map, and analyse best practices of, the plethora of in- ternational fact-finding1 commissions and other mandates2 to look into allegations of serious violations of international criminal, humanitarian or human rights law. There have been signifi- cant developments in international practice in this area since the Commission of Experts for the former Yugoslavia established pursuant to United Nations Security Council resolution 780 (1992), an institution which served as a catalyst for later developments. The FICHL supports these academic efforts, and it seeks, together with the European University Institute and Peking University International Law Institute, to supplement them by focusing the 2013 LI Haopei Seminar on the specific topic of ‘Quality Control in International Fact-Finding Outside Criminal Justice for Core International Crimes’.3 To serve the interests of professionalization, how can the quality of international fact- finding, -analysis and -reporting be improved? How should the significant developments in fact- work in international criminal jurisdictions since the mid-1990s

HSIEH ABSTRACT This Article examines the evolution of international law as a professional and intellectual discipline in the Republic of China (ROC), which has governed Mainland China (1912–1949) and post-1949 Taiwan. The ROC’s centennial development fundamentally shaped modern China’s course of foreign relations and postwar global governance. The Article argues that statism, pragmatism, and idealism define the major features of the ROC’s approach to international law. These characteristics transformed the law of nations into universally valid normative claims and prompted modern China’s intellectual focus on the civilized nation concept. First, the Article analyzes the professionalization of the discipline of international law.
  • A Tribute to Professor Wang Tieya

    A Tribute to Professor Wang Tieya

    A Tribute to Professor Wang Tieya Sienho Yee Professor Wang Tieya and I were several generations apart. Yet we had something in common. We were co-editors for two projects: a book in honor of Li Haopei,1 a dear friend of his and a kind supervisor of mine, and the Chinese Journal of International Law. To some extent we were both rebels. We both had done things that might be perceived to go against common wisdom. Despite the fact that he had been such an eminent scholar when I, a fun-loving undergraduate at Peking University, was introduced to him, Professor Wang displayed no air of importance or stature that normally one might see in a person on Olympic heights. Soon we developed a friendship that in Chinese would be called “Wangnianzhijiao”, friendship defying the gap of age. We shared stories. We exchanged arguments. He critiqued my works. He appreciated a good argument when he saw one. He criticized a questionable one when he found it. He gave credit where it was due. I benefited greatly from his wisdom. Then in 1998, it was suggested that Professor Wang and I co-edit the memorial collection for Li Haopei. Professor Wang immediately accepted the task, despite the fact that I was still a very young man then, although older than I was when I was introduced to him.2 That project was completed in 2000 and the book was published in 2001. In the course of editing that book, some of the disputes between some authors and me were put to him for final decision.

When we look at the reality of today’s world, it seems quite obvious that certain States, powerful States, continue to reserve for them, openly or more discreetly, also as some kind of hidden agenda, the option to go to war for their interests. The question, however, is crucial: Is it the natural, the inherent right of States or governments to use military force against other States when they believe it is in their interest? This is the fundamental question which is at the centre of today’s lecture. As some may know, on 11 June 2010, something surprising, something unexpected happened: against all odds, against most expectations, the Review Conference of the International Criminal Court (ICC) held in Kampala, Uganda adopted a full and complete package proposal on the crime of aggression. The amendments to the Rome Statute contain a definition of the crime of aggression and set out the conditions under which the Court will have, from 2017 onwards, jurisdiction with regard to this crime.
