商品簡介
The only introductory text on the Hong Kong Basic Law, this book provides a highly readable starting point to understanding the important issues shaping Hong Kong’s future. The book traces the origins of the Hong Kong Basic Law and analyses its content, especially in relation to Hong Kong’s political system, the judiciary, and human rights. The second edition has been updated thoroughly to discuss important new developments, including the implications of the mass street protests known as the Umbrella Movement, and adds a new concluding chapter on the future of “one country, two systems”.
