Administrative Reform in Hong Kong: An Institutional Analysis of Food Safety

Authors

  • John P. Burns

Abstract

In this paper I trace the evolution of Hong Kong’s political and administrative systems from one dominated by the bureaucracy to one dominated by the political executive. The change has had profound consequences for governance arrangements in Hong Kong and on reform capacity. I illustrate the impact of the change on the institutional arrangements in one policy domain, food safety.
