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. -

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. -

Paper on the Proposed Kwu Tung North and Fanling North
立法會 Legislative Council LC Paper No. CB(1)925/13-14(07) Ref: CB1/PL/DEV Panel on Development Meeting on 25 February 2014 Background brief on the proposed Kwu Tung North and Fanling North New Development Areas Purpose This paper provides background information on the proposed Kwu Tung North ("KTN") and Fanling North ("FLN") New Development Areas ("NDAs") and gives a brief account of the views and concerns expressed by Members on the subject at the meetings of the Legislative Council ("LegCo") and the Panel on Development ("DEV Panel") since July 20131. Background 2. The Planning and Development Study on the North East New Territories commissioned in 1998 identified KTN, FLN and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling ("PC/TKL") as suitable NDAs for development in one scheme, namely the NENT NDAs. In view of the slower growth of population, the NENT NDAs proposals were shelved in 2003. Four years later, the findings of the "Hong Kong 2030: Planning Vision and Strategy" recommended proceeding with the NDA developments to address the long-term housing need and to create more employment opportunities. 1 KTN and FLN NDAs are two of the three NDAs (KTN, FLN and Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling) proposed under the North East New Territories ("NENT") NDAs project. On 4 July 2013, having gone through three stages of public engagement from 2008 to 2012 on the proposed project, the Administration announced that it would first proceed with the planning of KTN and FLN NDAs. The proposed Ping Che/Ta Kwu Ling NDA will be reviewed and re-planned. -
