Policy Dialogue Series 2023-24:
Public Policy under Changing Order: Politics, Administration, Civil Society
Upon the implementation of the National Security Law and enhancement of the electoral system, Hong Kong has entered a new phase of “Patriots Administration”. Chief Executive John Lee proclaimed in his 2022 inaugural Policy Address that Hong Kong has achieved a major transition from chaos to order and is now at the crucial stage of advancing from stability to prosperity. The new order has brought about notable changes in the spheres of politics, administration and civil society, expected to deliver better governance systems, governance capability and governance efficacy, so that “our people [...] have a sense of gain and a real taste of the fruits of effective governance” as promised by Mr. Lee. To what extent has such a goal been borne out by public policy performance and results?
