Summary:

This book is a study of the administration of Hong Kong's government under the leadership of Tung Chee-hwa during a time when Hong Kong was changing politically and economically. The contributors address the following questions: To what extent are government policies consistent with those of colonial rule? What does "one country two systems" mean, and to what extent has the Tung regime been successful in safeguarding this principle? How responsible are external economic forces for the apparent deterioration of the Hong Kong economy? Who are affected most by the restructuring of the economy, and what are some of the long-term implications for Hong Kong as an important world financial center? How do people in general perceive these changes? What are some of the most effective economic and social policy measures that the Tung government has initiated? Finally, how successful has the Chief Executive been during his five years in office?
