Rezensionen / Stimmen
"Comprehensive, perceptive, and critical, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in Hong Kong politics before and after 1997 and political development and state-society relations in general. Ma Ngok forcefully explains the source of governance crisis and the slow growth of democracy in post-1997 Hong Kong. He argues that the crux of the matter lies in the underdevelopment of political society. This is both a well written work on Hong Kong society and a useful reference for undergraduates and research students in political science, sociology and development studies." - Professor Lui Tai-lok, Department of Sociology, Chinese University of Hong Kong
