A timely study of Hong Kong's politics and society since the 1997 handover that explores the city's long history of resistance.
Hong Kong is a global city-state under the sovereignty of the People’s Republic of China, and is home to around 250,000 Muslims practicing Islam.

自1997年香港特別行政區成立以來,香港市民一共見證過五屆政府、四任行政長官,客觀地說,每一任行政長官治理施政都不算一帆風順,社會各界不禁要問,是《香港基本法》設計的制度本身有結構、技術或是邏輯性缺陷?還是行政長官(制度)未能適應社會時勢變遷?還是有其他主觀或客觀原因?這情況為行政長官制度的理論與實踐問題提供了研究價值。 行政長官的權力由《香港基本法》列明;然而,在《香港基本法》的實踐中,行政長官權力及其行使並不經常合符期許、循着立法原意運行的。本書以「行政長官制度、...
