Why and the way has civic engagement emerged within the coverage strategy of Hong Kong as an Asian semi-democratic kingdom? This e-book makes an attempt to reply to this query via studying six situations that straddle various coverage domain names. It identifies 3 explanatory elements, particularly, the profile of a coverage area, the constitution of societal curiosity, and the power of the civil society quarter as very important in shaping the state’s method in coping with society, therefore its propensity to have interaction. those elements have an effect on the end result via dynamic interplay among the kingdom and societal actors. The findings defined within the ebook express that the improvement of civic engagement in Hong Kong comprises either society-led and state-led instances. Society-led improvement caused a excessive measure of openness and inclusiveness, while state-led civic engagement practices tended to be strategies used by the country for appeasing or depoliticizing civil society. in comparison with different Asian regimes, using ‘transgressive competition’ so as to compel the country to interact society is a function that stands proud within the liberal autocratic regime in Hong Kong.
