Summary:

This weighty monograph offers an authoritative academic critique of the HKSAR Government's performance in various policy areas and state-society interactive topical dimensions under the Tsang years from 2005 to 2012. By inviting contributions from a number of scholars specialising in different research disciplines, the volume in 18 chapters covers a lot of key issues and public policy areas that constitute a very rich combination of analytical narratives from multi-disciplinary perspectives.
