To attain sustainable economic growth and balanced social and environmental developments, we need a paradigm shift on how businesses, the government and the NGOs can create value through creativity and innovation. We need talents with new mind sets and skill sets to meet the opportunities and challenges of the 21st century. For Hong Kong to maintain its competitive edge regionally and globally, it is important that we continue to create value through creativity and innovation in our businesses as well as public and social services alike. This high-profile forum aims to identify the critical factors for Hong Kong to move up the value chain as a creative economy, including the challenge for talent development, the role of higher education, creative leadership as well as cross-sector partnership and collaboration. We are honoured to have keynote speakers John Howkins, author of the best-seller The Creative Economy, and Professor Geoffrey Crossick, Vice Chancellor of University of London and chair of the Universities UK Creating Prosperity Steering Group. The two creative gurus will be joined by the leading figures from the business and higher education sectors as well as NGOs to chart the way forward for the city’s creative economy. Participants will also have the opportunity to network with the creative leaders over a buffet lunch. In addition to experience sharing by the UK and local experts, there will be a Sandbox workshop in the afternoon, an innovative idea- generation process first launched in the UK (http://sandbox.uclan.ac.uk). Sandbox events are organised regularly in more than 20 cities in the US, Europe and Asia. Event website http://www.bauhinia.org/conference/2011_09_01/conference_background-en.php 4 / 39 About the organisers The Bauhinia Foundation Research Centre The Bauhinia Foundation Research Centre is a policy think tank established in Hong Kong in March 2006, for promoting the understanding of the One Country, Two Systems arrangements and other socioeconomic policies in Hong Kong, through the support of relevant research and studies. It also organises seminars, forums or workshops on the relevant topics. Its research interests cover: (a) macroeconomic development of Hong Kong and the region, particularly Mainland China, with special emphasis given to regional economic integration and the competitive edge of the Greater Pearl River Delta. (b) economic and business environment in Hong Kong. Special emphasis is given to the study of policies and measures that would attract the flow of business, funds and people through Hong Kong. (c) social environment in Hong Kong – what would be the appropriate social policies, in areas such as environmental protection, education, labour, immigration, transport, medical and health, social welfare, town planning etc that would make Hong Kong a better place in which to live, work and do business. The Centre strives to establish its credibility by developing and presenting considered and balanced views on various policy issues that are in line with the overall and long term interests of Hong Kong.

  • The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster
    Mainstream or Alternative? The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster so Ming Hang A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Government and Public Administration © The Chinese University of Hong Kong June 2005 The Chinese University of Hong Kong holds the copyright of this thesis. Any person(s) intending to use a part or whole of the materials in the thesis in a proposed publication must seek copyright release from the Dean of the Graduate School. 卜二,A館書圆^^ m 18 1 KK j|| Abstract Theoretically, public broadcaster and commercial broadcaster are set up and run by two different mechanisms. Commercial broadcaster, as a proprietary organization, is believed to emphasize on maximizing the profit while the public broadcaster, without commercial considerations, is usually expected to achieve some objectives or goals instead of making profits. Therefore, the contribution by public broadcaster to the society is usually expected to be different from those by commercial broadcaster. However, the public broadcasters are in crisis around the world because of their unclear role in actual practice. Many politicians claim that they cannot find any difference between the public broadcasters and the commercial broadcasters and thus they asserted to cut the budget of public broadcasters or even privatize all public broadcasters. Having this unstable situation of the public broadcasting, the role or performance of the public broadcasters in actual practice has drawn much attention from both policy-makers and scholars. Empirical studies are divergent on whether there is difference between public and commercial broadcaster in actual practice.

  • THE DECLINE of the DEMOCRATIC PARTY in HONG KONG the Second Legislative Election in the HKSAR
    THE DECLINE OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IN HONG KONG The Second Legislative Election in the HKSAR Ma Ngok In September 2000, the Hong Kong Special Administra- tive Region (HKSAR) held its second election for the Legislative Council (Legco). As the results came in, the relative decline that pro-democracy forces experienced was the most striking outcome. The Democratic Party (DP), led by prominent politician Martin Lee, suffered a particularly notice- able loss. The DP received 462,423 votes, 170,000 fewer than it had earned in 1998 or an 8% drop in its overall share. The election also showed that forces that support the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have solid organi- zational support and strong mobilization potential. The pro-China flagship party, the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment of Hong Kong (DAB), increased its overall share of the vote by 4.5% despite a major scandal in- volving the party’s vice-chairman Gary Cheng. The difference in the share of the vote received by the DP and the DAB shrank drastically from 18% in 1998 to 5% in 2000. The results of the 2000 election are symbolic of the situation facing Hong Kong’s democracy movement. It is becoming increasingly fragmented and powerless. The election also demonstrated that the pro-PRC DAB is emerg- ing as a major force on the Hong Kong political scene. This emergence in turn may make China more willing to agree to a further, gradual democratiza- tion of Hong Kong. This article delineates the changes that have taken place since 1997 that have led to the DP’s decline.

  • Transnational Urban Redevelopment of the Post-Colonial Hong Kong
    CARESCAPES: TRANSNATIONAL URBAN REDEVELOPMENT OF THE POST-COLONIAL HONG KONG Shu-Mei Huang A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2012 Reading Committee: Robert Mugeraurer, Chair Victoria Lawson Jeffery Hou Manish Chalana Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Built Environment ©Copyright 2012 Shu-Mei Huang University of Washington Abstract CARESCAPES: TRANSNATIONAL URBAN REDEVELOPMENT OF THE POST- COLONIAL HONG KONG Shu-Mei Huang Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Robert Mugerauer Director, PhD Program in the Built Environment, University of Washington Professor at Urban Design and Planning, College of Built Environments Drawing upon the massive redevelopment catalyzed by the government-led urban renewal in Hong Kong in the past two decades, this research pays attention to how biased normalization of care and dependency contributes to a neoliberal regime of urban redevelopment that dictates more than 200 urban renewal projects. It examines the ways in which the regime reconfigures the daily existence of urban citizens, and moreover, the intense competition among Pearl River Delta (PRD) cities. Taking a transnational perspective from below, it reveals how the denial has affected a particular population on the move and more importantly, unsettled the civil society. By theorizing “carescapes” as a heuristic device, it trace the ways in which the transnational circulation of rent/capital travels across borders at the cost of care and needs. It illuminates the multiple displacements of care: the displacement of reproductive space and nested dependency relations; the displacement of urban residents to make room for the elite visitors; the displacement of citizens on a transnational scale, including both the underprivileged migrants and the elite expatriates who struggle to stay put in the liquid labor market.
