Ethnocide: A Cultural Narrative of Refugee Detention in Hong Kong A Cultural Narrative of Refugee Detention in Hong Kong

This title was first published in 2000: An ethnographic inquiry into the socio-cultural dynamics of the Vietnamese asylum seeker detention centres in Hong Kong during the period of 1988-1995. It deals essentially with the British asylum policy towards Vietnamese refugees and its outcome in Hong Kong. Based on the author's first hand experience of working in refugee camps this book argues that the administrators managed to solve the crisis by perpetuating horrendous human rights violations and subsequent ethnocide of the asylum seekers trapped in the detention centres. | Ethnocide: A Cultural Narrative of Refugee Detention in Hong Kong A Cultural Narrative of Refugee Detention in Hong Kong

Policing in Hong Kong History and Reform

The HKP (Hong Kong Police) ‘Asia’s Finest’ is a battle-tested professional organization with strong leadership competent staff and deep culture. It is also a continuously learning and reforming agency in pursuit of organisational excellence. Policing in Hong Kong: History and Reform is the first and only book on the development of the Hong Kong Police from an inside out and bottom up perspective. Written by a scholar and veteran of the HKP it is an amalgamation of indigenous theory and supporting data. Part One begins by describing the development of police studies in Hong Kong as an emerging field since the 1990s. It supplies an analytical and empirical construct of colonial policing as well as a theoretical assessment. It discusses the nature topologies conduct impact and assessment of police reform. The book demonstrates how colonial policing in Hong Kong and elsewhere takes on the community’s local color and hue in practice. Colonial policing in Hong Kong is policing with Chinese characteristics. Part Two tracks the history of the HKP’s formation in the 1840s and examines how colonial policing in Hong Kong has changed over time. It describes the HKP’s four distinctive reform periods: the formation period (1845) the reorganisation period (1872) the modernisation period (1950s) and finally the decolonisation period (1990s). It argues that HKP reform in the1950s was the pivotal point in transforming the HKP from a colonial force into a civil one by way of localisation legalisation modernisation communalisation and organisation. Overall the book questions previously accepted colonial history and in doing so contributes to our understanding of challenges and opportunities facing HKP after the reversion of political authority from England to China. | Policing in Hong Kong History and Reform

One Country Two Systems Cross-Border Crime Between Hong Kong and China

The legal issues evoked by cross-border crime in Hong Kong and China are sparse and what does exist is mostly in Chinese. This book provides the first systematic comprehensive and in-depth analysis of how Chinese British Hong Kong and international law were applied in the Big Spender case. Kam C. Wong outlines the respective positions of various parties to the dispute. Part of the case's fascination involves competing interests and that political clout counted for more than legal theory. Big Spender may be little known outside Hong Kong and China but he made history there. It was the first time a Hong Kong legal resident had been prosecuted tried and ultimately executed in China for acts largely perpetrated in Hong Kong. The case tested the limits of the one-country two-systems approach under which Hong Kong and China coexist. It also forced politicians government officials and the public in both Hong Kong and China to come to terms with the legal and policy issues related to cross-border crime. Wong sees the Big Spender case as making clear the dire need for both sides to find workable solutions to concurrent jurisdiction police cooperation and judicial assistance. Until there is an acceptable arrangement governing the rendition of offenders between Hong Kong and mainland China the one- country two-systems formula cannot be stabilized. This is a case study in large-scale terms. | One Country Two Systems Cross-Border Crime Between Hong Kong and China

Ethnic Minorities Media and Participation in Hong Kong Creative and Tactical Belonging

Second and third generation South and Southeast Asian minorities in Hong Kong being marginalized from mainstream social and political affairs have developed an ambivalent sense of belonging to their host society. Unlike their forefathers who first settled in Hong Kong under British colonial rule these younger generations have spent their formative years in the territory. As such they have increasingly engaged in the public and political realms of society partly in response to the territory’s rapid political changes. Leung discusses and analyses the complex and diverse engagement of migrant and minority youths in Hong Kong - and their struggle for recognition while desiring to 'be-long' to a place they call home. Some are joining the calls for democratic changes in the territory. In particular she argues that much of this struggle can be seen in minorities’ involvement in creative sectors of society. While it will be of especial interest to scholars with an interest in Hong Kong this book presents a compelling case study for anyone interested in the dynamics of migrant and minority engagement in the creative sector as a strategy for engagement. | Ethnic Minorities Media and Participation in Hong Kong Creative and Tactical Belonging

Building Colonial Hong Kong Speculative Development and Segregation in the City

In the 1880s Hong Kong was a booming colonial entrepôt with many European especially British residents living in palatial mansions in the Mid-Levels and at the Peak. But it was also a ruthless migrant city where Chinese workers shared bedspaces in the crowded tenements of Taipingshan. Despite persistent inequality Hong Kong never ceased to attract different classes of sojourners and immigrants who strived to advance their social standing by accumulating wealth especially through land and property speculation. In this engaging and extensively illustrated book Cecilia L. Chu retells the ‘Hong Kong story’ by tracing the emergence of its ‘speculative landscape’ from the late nineteenth to the early decades of the twentieth century. Through a number of pivotal case studies she highlights the contradictory logic of colonial urban development: the encouragement of native investment that supported a laissez-faire housing market versus the imperative to segregate the populations in a hierarchical colonial spatial order. Crucially she shows that the production of Hong Kong’s urban landscapes was not a top-down process but one that evolved through ongoing negotiations between different constituencies with vested interests in property. Further her study reveals that the built environment was key to generating and attaining individual and collective aspirations in a racially divided highly unequal but nevertheless upwardly mobile modernizing colonial city.

French Banking and Entrepreneurialism in China and Hong Kong From the 1850s to 1980s

Many books have addressed the economic and financial history of Hong Kong and the imperialist conflicts in the key Chinese port-cities but very few books have explored French initiatives and performance in this area beyond diplomacy geopolitics or cultural issues. In this book Hubert Bonin confronts arguments about the great divergence the first globalisation and forms of economic patriotism. He gauges the competitive edge of French companies and banks their struggle with British domination (HBSC Chartered shipping trade houses/hongs) and their resistance against competitors from other countries (Japan Germany Netherlands Belgium USA or Russia). The book delves into studies of management abroad therefore mixing broad geo-economic issues with precise business history and deep banking history. The connections between French interests in China and Hong Kong and the colony of Indochina are established too. A second part of the book is dedicated to the case study of Hong Kong as the British colony acted as a hub for Asian and European interests at the heart of connections with mainland China and some neighbouring territories (Indochina etc. ). This is essential reading for academics interested in banking and business history the history of entrepreneurship as well as those involved in the contemporary history of China and Hong Kong in the assessment of world-wide geo-economic competition between European powers in Asia (Great-Britain and France) and in the first stages of economic modernity along European models in emerging modern China. | French Banking and Entrepreneurialism in China and Hong Kong From the 1850s to 1980s

Resisting Rape Culture The Hebrew Bible and Hong Kong Sex Workers

Resisting Rape Culture tackles controversial and harrowing rape myths prevalent in rape culture: namely that sex workers do not get raped and that they are deserving victims of sexual violence. Commonly sociocultural discourses depict sex workers as morally deficient and promiscuous having sex with multiple clients in exchange for payment. Consequently they are often considered deserving of rape sexual assault and other forms of abuse or as people who should expect to receive such treatment. In a way the Hebrew Bible contributes to such stigmatization of and discrimination against sex workers given first its authority and second its negative portrayals of prostitutes as outsiders. This cutting-edge book describes the rape culture in Hong Kong focusing on how Hong Kong Christians interpret the Bible concerning prostitutes and in turn how this affects the treatment of sex workers. Arguably when interpretations malign the prostitutes in the Bible and do not critique how the Bible portrays these women we promote the stigmatization of sex workers and in doing so normalise and trivialise sexual discrimination abuse and violence ultimately promoting rape culture. | Resisting Rape Culture The Hebrew Bible and Hong Kong Sex Workers

Public Administration in Hong Kong Dynamics of Reform and Executive-Led Public Policy

This book investigates the case of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (SAR) of People’s Republic of China mapping the changing patterns of political-administrative relations affected by the sovereignty change and structural reforms. It identifies the conditions that account for the varied political-administrative relations resulting from these changes and develops an analytical framework that integrates and adapts theories and models from Western contexts to explain varied political-administrative relations in Hong Kong policymaking. The book tests its hypotheses through a qualitative comparative analysis of 18 cases occurring during the period of 1997–2012. It also conducts a comparative case analysis which identified alternative causal conditions that were missing in the original framework. The book concludes that civil servants no longer dominate policymaking in Hong Kong after the regime change and structural reforms. While senior civil servants have sustained influence over policymaking processes through codified rules and political appointment some of them have adapted to the changes in political environment that require more proactive policy styles and more hierarchical loyalty to the Central People’s Government of China than before. The first-hand interview materials presented in the book provide insights about internal political-administrative dynamics rarely accessible from the public domain. These insights provide inside knowledge of the actors structure and processes of local policymaking in a context of post-colonial transition and will be of interest to public administration scholars. | Public Administration in Hong Kong Dynamics of Reform and Executive-Led Public Policy

City States In The Global Economy Industrial Restructuring In Hong Kong And Singapore

This is the first serious comparative study of two dynamic Asian city-states that are emerging as key regional?indeed global?cities. Providing both historical comparisons and analyses of contemporary issues the authors consider the patterns strategies and consequences of industrial restructuring. They build their analysis around the interrelationships of four institutional spheres: the global economy the state the financial system and the labor market. This leads to a unique emphasis on the distinctiveness of individual NICs as opposed to much of the literature in the field which tends to group these Asian dragons together as a single undifferentiated case. The book addresses three basic sets of questions tied to industrial restructuring in Hong Kong and Singapore: First what are the basic patterns of restructuring in the two economies? What corporate strategies have manufacturers used to restructure their operations? Are Hong Kong and Singapore diverging or utilizing the same restructuring strategies? Second how should the process of restructuring in the two economies and the concomitant similarities or divergencies be explained? Third what are the consequences of the restructuring process for the two economies? How are these processes shaped by the shared histories of Hong Kong and Singapore as colonial port cities their current status as NICs ?squeezed? between industrialized western societies and the Third World and their role as important regional cities in East and Southeast Asia? | City States In The Global Economy Industrial Restructuring In Hong Kong And Singapore

The Struggle for Democracy in Mainland China Taiwan and Hong Kong Sharp Power and its Discontents

The key question at the heart of this book is to what extent political activists in mainland China Taiwan and Hong Kong have made progress in their quest to liberalise and democratise their respective polities. Taking a long historical perspective the book compares and contrasts the political development trajectory in the three regions from the early 1970s—from the election-driven liberalisation in Taiwan from 1969 the Democracy Wall Movement in mainland China in 1978 and the top-down political reforms of Governor Patten in Hong Kong after 1992—until the present day. More specifically it sets out the different strategies and tactics political activists have taken assesses the lessons activists have learned from both successes and failures and considers how these experiences have informed their struggles for democracy. Importantly the book demonstrates that at the same time throughout the period and earlier the Chinese Communist Party has been making use of sharp power —penetrating the political and information environments in Western democracies to manipulate debate and suppress dissenters living both inside and outside China—in order to strengthen its domestic position. The book discusses the nature of this sharp power explores the rise of the security state within mainland China and examines the effectiveness of the approach arguing that in Taiwan and Hong Kong the approach has been counterproductive with civil society campaigns for greater democracy and the flourishing of religion in part stimulated by the Chinese Communist Party's sharp power practices. | The Struggle for Democracy in Mainland China Taiwan and Hong Kong Sharp Power and its Discontents

Chineseness and the Cold War Contested Cultures and Diaspora in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong

This book explores contested notions of Chineseness in Southeast Asia and Hong Kong during the Cold War showing how competing ideas about Chineseness were an important ideological factor at play in the region. After providing an overview of the scholarship on Chineseness and diaspora the book sheds light on specific case studies through the lens of the Chinese cultural Cold War from Hong Kong Singapore Malaya Thailand Indonesia and Vietnam. It provides detailed examples of competition for control of definitions of Chineseness by political or politically oriented forces of diverse kinds and shows how such competition was played out in bookstores cinemas music halls classrooms and even sports clubs and places of worship across the region in the 1950s 1960s and 1970s. The book also demonstrates how the legacies of these Cold War contestations continue to influence debates about Chinese influence – and Chineseness – in Southeast Asia and the wider region today.

The Economic Roots of the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong Globalization and the Rise of China

In the autumn of 2014 thousands of people young and educated in their majority occupied the chief business district and seat of the government in Hong Kong. The protest known as the Umbrella Movement called for ‘genuine democracy’ as well as a fairer social and economic system. The book aims to provide a dynamic framework to explain why socioeconomic forces converged to produce such a situation. Examining increasing inequality rising prices and stagnating incomes it stresses the role of economic and social factors as opposed to the domestic political and constitutional issues often assumed to be the root cause behind the protests. It first argues that globalization and the increasing influence of China’s economy in Hong Kong has weighted on salaries. Second it shows that the oligopolistic nature of the local economy has generated rents which have reinforced inequality. The book demonstrates that the younger generation which is still finding its place in society has been particularly affected by these phenomena especially with social mobility at a low point. Offering a new approach to studying the Umbrella Movement this book will appeal to students and scholars interested in Hong Kong's political landscape as well Chinese politics more broadly. | The Economic Roots of the Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong Globalization and the Rise of China
