The PLA and regionalism in Hong Kong

This article examines the linkages between changes in international capital movements and currency values on the one hand and Asian regionalism on the other. It argues that economic ties within Asia in the late 1980s and early 1990s can be traced primarily to the increasing values of currencies in Japan, Taiwan, South Korea and Hong Kong. Foreign-direct investments from companies in these countries increased throughout the Asian region. Intra-regional trade grew rapidly as well. Still, by the turn of the century, in contrast to regionalism in Europe, that in Asia remained deeply institutionalized and far less responsive to any central direction from potential leaders such as Japan.     

港澳华文教育发展研究

香港、澳门自身的特性决定了开展和扩大华文教育的重要性。当前港澳华文教育的发展存在教育重视程度不足、多语言之间关系复杂、华文教育推广战略缺失、教学语言过渡和简繁汉字更替等问题。可通过增强港澳居民的民族认同感、加强华语教师的培训工作、规范学校教学语言、宣传和推广简化字、制定华文教育推广战略等手段，促进港澳华文教育事业的发展。

Quangos与澳门政府自治机构：兼与香港比较

在西方国家除了政府部门架构以外，而同样提供公共服务的其它所有组织类别，都普遍被通称为“quangos”（quasi-autonomous nongovernmental organizations），即半自主非官方机构。据文菲尔（Sandra Van Thiel），quangos是“被赋予执行一个或多个公共政策为其主要任务的一些组织，它们由公帑支持但运作上与政府保持距离，且与部长或主管部门并无上下层级关系”。自治机构的建制在澳门回归前已存在，乃前宗主国葡萄牙由本土引入，是quangos的一种。本文将从其法律地位主要是独立法人组织、内部管理架构、人员组成、经费来源、职权及监察几个大的范畴详细分析这些自治机构，并与香港类似组织作出比较。     

香港廉政公署研究

Public Service Neutrality in Hong Kong: Problems and Prospects

Before 2002, Hong Kong's higher civil servants were required to play the dual role of quasi-ministers and civil servants. In such a context, can we make sense of the claim that Hong Kong's civil service has all along been politically neutral? What role has neutrality played in the governance of Hong Kong? Informed by Kernaghan's model of political neutrality and Oakeshott's idea of civil association, this article argues that the public service should not be regarded solely as an effective instrument of the government in power. In conclusion, this article proposes some institutional measures to strengthen the neutrality of the public service in Hong Kong and argues that properly understanding this will help prevent excessive or illegitimate partisan political power.
