Hong Kongs Governance Under Chinese SovereigntyThe Failure of the State-Business Alliance after 1997\nAuthor(s): Brian C. H. Fong\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138091948, 978-1138091948\nSynopsis\nAs a hybrid regime, Hong Kong has been governed by a state-business alliance since the colonial era. However, since the handover in 1997, the transformation of Hong Kongs political and socio-economic environment has eroded the conditions that supported a viable state-business alliance. This state-business alliance, which was once a solution for Hong Kongs governance, has now become a political burden, rather than a political asset, to the post-colonial Hong Kong state. \n\nThis book presents a critical re-examination of the post-1997 governance crisis in Hong Kong under the Tung Chee-hwa and Donald Tsang administrations. It shows that the state-business alliance has failed to function as an organizational machinery .
