'Reading an edited book that coheres like this one is an exciting experience...It follows a general paradigm, each piece developes the theme, and adds to it in a overall statement...This volume will stand up over the years despite obvious ongoing institutional change in Hong Kong because it is not a narrow event-based, what happened when book. The mixture of theory and analysis by people in the know is the strength of the volume' - Janet Salaff, East Asia (2008)
