Legitimacy, Governance and Public Policy in Post-Handover Hong Kong

Author

Abstract

Hong Kong's post-handover government has experienced great difficulties in introducing new policies. Legitimacy and governance problems and opposition from increasingly vocal, imaginative and active coalitions have resulted in the failure of many attempts to introduce new policies and in long delays in introducing others. While there is some prospect that governance problems in policy formulation may be overcome, there remain major difficulties in implementation that seem unlikely to be settled unless the fundamental legitimacy issue of consent through the introduction of universal suffrage is resolved.
