Registration is required.Hong Kong's approach to distribution and social issues has, from the jump (1841), been rooted in liberalism, both old and “neo.” In recent years this has come into crisis, and the SAR is, necessarily, pivoting towards new, emerging alternatives of economic and political governance that turn in part on a proactive, state-led market development. How has this come to be, and what are the incipient trajectories? Professor Huang will range over the consequences of Hong Kong’s historical approach, the added pressures from Sino-US power relations, and ways forward for the SAR in the current conjuncture.Professor Huang Ping (黄平), Ph.D. (LSE, 1991), a Senior Research Fellow and Professor at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS; 中國社會科學院) since 1997, is now the President of the Chinese Institute of Hong Kong (香港中國學術研究院). He was formerly the Director General of the Institute of American Studies, Director General of the Institute of European Studies and Director of the Institute of Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao Studies, CASS.
