This title was first published in 2000: The Sino-British joint
declaration in 1985 had called to the end of British rule in Hong
Kong, but the impacts of the agreed introduction of popular
election during the transitional period have still not fully
emerged. Being granted Hong Kong people governing Hong Kong by
China after 1997, Hong Kong people are suddenly exposed to the kind
of politics that they were not engaged in before. The transitional
politics is further complicated by the fact that the majority of
Hong Kong voters supported the democrats, whose political value and
orientation differed from that of the Beijing government. In order
to comprehend the collective behaviour of the Hong Kong voters, the
author first traces the development of the Hong Kong state and put
his readers into context of Hong Kong electoral politics. By
adopting the cleavage approach in explaining the voters' choice and
the election results since the 1990, the author examines whether
the existing institutional arrangements as established by the Basic
law is capable of solving the political and electoral conflicts of
the days.
