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. -

Centre for Nutritional Studies Celebrates Its 10Th Anniversary in 2007
1 Foreword The Centre for Nutritional Studies celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2007. It represents a successful inter-faculty and inter-departmental collaborative group studying various aspects of nutrition in children, adults and the elderly, in the community as well as hospitals and long term residential care. The stimulus to the formation of the Centre was the award of the US Bristol-Myers Squibb Mead Johnson Unrestricted Grant in Nutrition for 5 years in 1997. Apart from members obtaining competitive grants to carry out research, the Centre has successfully developed a social enterprise model to become self-sustainable in translating an effective lifestyle modification programme developed and evaluated as a research project, into a public service. This allowed continuous support of various research staff and projects on a regular basis to complement specific projects supported by competitive grants. I would like to acknowledge the immense contribution from all staff of the Centre, as well as all academic staff from many Departments in the Chinese University and other Hong Kong universities, as well as overseas partners. The Centre was placed under the umbrella of the newly formed School of Public Health in 2001, as a corner stone for nutritional research, education and health promotion. Jean Woo Director November 2007 Mission Vision • To conduct research in nutrition, Research particularly in areas of concern in this region, covering the role of nutrition in the prevention of diseases, and nutritional aspects of acute and chronic -
