In his book, Government and Politics: A Documentary History of Kong, Steve Tsang (1995), discussed the pre-transitional government and history of that government in Hong Kong. For all intents and purposes, the government in China's influence over Hong Kong was virtually non-existent since the UK's presence on the island (271). In fact, the political environment in Hong Kong was one that made it safe for the island to receive political refuges (Ash et al. 199). There was concern that those individuals would be very much at risk in a post hand over environment.
In a study conducted by Lee-In Chen Chiu, Ding Yi, Si Joong Kim, Won Bae Kim, Reginald Yin-Wang Kwok, Hong Yung Lee, Karen Eggleston Lee, Li Wuwei, Shelley M. Mark, Manuel F. Montes, Richard Pomfret, Alvin Y. So, Shi Min, Sung Shou Wei, Yibo Xu, Zhang Zhongli, Lishui Zhu, Sumner J. La Croix, Michael Plummer, Keun Lee; M.E. Sharpe (2007), the researchers find that most of the fears concerning the handover of Hong Kong to the mainland were, for the most part, unfounded (11). That business flourishes in Hong Kong, thus, in China, and Hong has probably served to bring China more firmly into the economic fold capitalism, and a seemingly quasi-capitalism-communism government is the result in China today.
Hong Kong's reversion to China on 1 July, 1997 was unusual. Not only did an underdeveloped Communist country incorporate a world-class city, but scheduled far in advance, the community had time to reflect on the meaning of the transition in their daily lives. There has thus been much interest in how the Hong Kong people defined reversion, and made strategies to meet the challenges (Ash et al. 248)."
That the people of Hong Kong were heavily democratized by virtue of their participation in the Hong Kong business world, and by government of the UK, is inarguable (Ash 248). However, their identity was, too, deeply rooted in the mainland, where they had relatives and roots (Ash 248). The transition from the free and democratic government of the UK, to the Communist government of the mainland has not always been easy, and it has even had its controversies,...
Political Philosophy The purpose of the present paper is to compare and contrast the following books: On Liberty, written by John Stuart Mill in 1859 and The manifesto of the communist party, written by Marx and Engels in 1848. The first part of the paper will describe and analyze the political ideas included in each of the books. The second part will be an attempt to evaluate some of the positive
Ralph Waldo Emerson famously declared that John Brown's execution would "make the gallows as glorious as the cross." (Quoted by Reynolds 127) Other historians have opined that Brown's martyrdom was the single most important event that "sparked the Civil War" and ultimately ended slavery. During his lifetime, Brown's uncompromising, radical ideas were often considered dangerous even by such anti-slavery politicians as Abraham Lincoln. In death, Brown became a symbol
Political Psychology Discuss how the politics - is - complicated that model is different from symbolic racism in terms of the outcomes these forms of racism produce. Use two examples to substantiate your arguments. In many democracies, one of the core principals is respecting the rights of everyone. This is in spite of race, income or ethnicity in determining opportunities and how an individual is living their life. On the surface, this
Conflict and Cooperation: Native Americans and European Settlers in Early America The early history of the settlement of what would eventually become the United States has many competing narratives. Many people view the relationship between Native Americans and European settlers as fundamentally combative. While at times the relationship between the colonists and the Native Americans was certainly one of conflict, this period was also full of significant curiosity, education and cooperation
This naturally tends to exacerbate the tension and increase the potential for conflict; as with many competing visions and views there are bound to be differences of opinion and consequently conflict between different individuals." As a result many people in many organizations are forced to invent their own corporate vision. When you have different versions of goals, direction, and values among different individuals and groups, you increase the probability
Conflict, Decision Making Conflicts happen in all places, and workplace is no exemption. A workplace has a diverse workforce with different backgrounds. Their ambitions and goals differ and easily results in conflicts. Nonetheless, workplace conflict does not necessarily result in negative impact, when well resolved it could indeed result in positive outcomes. As noted by Hellriegel, et al. (2001) by resolving conflict effectively, an organization can solve numerous issues that surfaces,
