Taking the stance that the post-1997 institutional framework of the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong has been imposed on the people of Hong Kong without popular support or even tacit consent, and that both the British and Chinese governments have sought to blur the consequences of the change in the interest of political stability, ten articles examine the future of Honk Kong institutions. The articles are divided into three sections tackling the questions of how Hong Kong people view their political, legal, and bureaucratic institutions; how those institutions will function in the future; and what the influence of the Chinese government will be on their functioning.
