The Public Sector in Hong Kong

An essential resource that outlines the impact of public administration and public policy in Hong Kong.

Since the handover of Hong Kong to China in 1997, the often-charged political atmosphere of the region has impacted its public sector, resulting in jurisdictional quandaries and public distrust. In this updated edition of The Public Sector in Hong Kong, Ian Scott explores public sector accountability in terms of Hong Kong's constitutional framework and the structure, functions, and personnel policies of its civil service system. This book examines critical issues facing the administration of the public sector and the formulation and implementation of public policy with particular attention to the political challenges confronting the Hong Kong government over the past decade. This second edition incorporates the latest statistics and research, including Scott's work in integrity management, corruption prevention, and policing, with a concluding chapter that assesses how contested values in a changing political environment have affected the public sector in recent years.
