Comparative Hong Kong politicsa guidebook for students and researchers /[electronic resource] :by Mathew Y. H. Wong. - Singapore :Springer Singapore :2017. - xvii, 300 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm.

1) Comparative Politics: An Introduction -- 2) Methods in Comparative Politics -- 3) Hong Kong Politics: An Overview -- 4) State -- 5) Democracy -- 6) Democratization -- 7) Presidentialism and Parliamentarism -- 8) Political Parties and Party Systems -- 9) Electoral Systems -- 10) Holistic Approaches to Political Institution Design -- 11) Democratic and Authoritarian Performances -- 12) Income Inequality -- 13) Conclusion.

This guidebook for students offers a survey of comparative politics intended for use in Hong Kong. Hong Kong is one of the world's great cities, but its political future has never been hazier. Mass protests, contested elections, a 2047 transition causing uncertainty in financial and business elites- for Hong Kong, it is the best of times as well as the worst of times. Hong Kong University politics scholar Matthew Wong brings a clear-headed and fact-based approach, introducing Hong Kong to scholars of comparative politics even as he introduces comparative politics to students in Hong Kong, with this new area-specific reference work, a mix of theory and insights into how political theory can be of value in understanding the case of Hong Kong, complete with datasets and quantitative information that helps to disentangle fact from myth. For Hong Kong residents, scholars, students, and members of civil society, this book will be a breath of fresh air.
