Description:This book discusses civic engagement and public policymaking in postcolonial Hong Kong. Utilizing case studies of citizens' advisory committees involving four policy areas - urban planning, social welfare policy, environmental protection, and arts and culture policy - it examines the interaction between the state and civil society, and explores how far the state opens up its policy process for citizens' participation. Although citizens' advisory committees are widely used in liberal democracies, they were made extensive use of by the colonial administration in Kong Kong, and continue to be used under the present regime. Some people have argued that the committees are mostly window-dressing. This book, however, demonstrates that they do offer the opportunity for increased public involvement, with some committees having been tranformed into more open forums, though at the same time other forms of societal mobilisation have had a significant impact on policy, forcing the government to delay or alter a wide range of policies on harbour reclamation, urban planning and heritage conservation.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
