Hong Kong is widely regarded as an exemplar of authoritarian
jurisdictions with a positive history of adhering to Rule of
Law-shaped governance systems. British Hong Kong provides a
remarkable story of the effective development and consolidation of
such a system, which has continued to apply since 1997, when it
became the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) within
the People's Republic of China (PRC). This book adopts a fresh
approach in examining the evolution of Hong Kong's political-legal
experience. It establishes that these prominent governance
achievements were built on particular British constitutional
foundations forged over many centuries. The work shows how the
analysis of the British theorist Albert Dicey and, in particular,
"Diceyan Constitutionalism" was fundamental, within the pivotal
context of "Chinese Familism", in shaping the development of
governance institutions and operational procedures within the new
British Colony. It discusses how Hong Kong's system of
Authoritarian Legality has come to pass. Exploring the essence of
that system, the study probes how thoroughly it has been
stress-tested, not least in 2019, and how well it may be placed to
cope with tests yet to come. It also analyzes Hong Kong-Beijing
relations and the long-term prospects for the HKSAR within the PRC
based on a balanced contemporary assessment of China's exceptional
One Party State.
