Synopsis

Many people harboured doubts about the return of sovereignty over Hong Kong to China in 1997. They were not optimistic about the ""one country, two systems"" formula. How should Hong Kong be judged as a Special Administrative Region within China in the first decade of its existence?This book has set out to answer this question. Renowned scholars from outside Hong Kong, largely from countries with close links to Hong Kong's handover or other links, have addressed this question from their perspectives. These views are supplemented by introspective reviews by Hong Kong academics. It is a major contribution to the study of Hong Kong after its return to the motherland.
