Back cover copy

“Clear-minded, conversant with the international literature, and intellectually passionate, Professor Brian Fong makes a case for the study of Hong Kong Politics within comparative contexts. <br><br>Hong Kong’s political existence has always been atypical, not easily susceptible to conventional theorisations. The city will continue to see twists and turns in its trajectory as a special administrative region of China. Hong Kong Politics has not come to an end as some fatalists put it. Fong’s book provides an overview of an era. The next era has only just begun.” <br>— Professor Anthony B. L. Cheung, former President of the Education University of Hong Kong (2008–12).<br><div><em><br></em></div><div><em>Hong Kong Politics: A Comparative Introduction</em>&nbsp;is a comprehensive and pioneering guide of this emerging field.
