Abstract

The International Social Survey Programme National Identity Module has been widely applied at sovereign state level, contributing to a large body of comparative literature on state identity conception. However, comparative identity survey studies at the territorial autonomy level, where the conception of sub-state identities is often highly contentious, remain rare. This study fills this research gap by testing the sources and consequences of sub-state identity conception in the context of territorial autonomies, using Hong Kong as the testing site. The results indicate that the Hongkonger identity is closely tied to cultural and political identity markers, with such a cultural-political identity conception significant in predicting people’s aspiration for Hong Kong’s autonomy. Fostering comparative identity survey studies beyond sovereign states, this study generates a new set of hypotheses to be further tested across territorial autonomies worldwide.
