ABSTRACT
This multidisciplinary volume aims to assess the major crises confronting and the crucial transformative processes reshaping China’s Hong Kong since July 1, 1997. While drawing definitive characterization of or rendering a summary verdict on the overall performance of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) would be premature, its five years of local autonomy under Chinese sovereignty did yield some sufficiently clear indicators on the actualization of the “one country, two systems” formula as being practiced in the HKSAR.
