ABSTRACT
Social cohesion is such a desirable phenomenon that scholars from different disciplines, most notably sociology,1 psychology,2 and most recently, political science, have made it a topic of investigation. Although each of these disciplines may have a slightly different emphasis, their concerns are more or less the same – the basis of an inclusive, stable, and integrated society. This chapter approaches social cohesion from the political science or policy perspective and examines the state of social cohesion as Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa concluded his first term of office.
