"The system of government and politics in Hong Kong has entered a new order. As institutional adaptations evolve, some previous analytical perspectives may have become contentious, and new frames called for. This new edition takes up the challenging task of explaining the past trajectory and conjecturing the future at a critical juncture of transition."
-Anthony B. L. Cheung, Education University of Hong Kong
