Civil Unrest and Governance in Hong Kong

Focusing on the local developments yet mindful of the international backdrop, this volume will explore the imaginaries of law and order that these movements engendered, revealing a complex interplay among evolving notions of justice, governance, law and order, and cultural creations throughout the under-explored history of instability in Hong Kong. Underscoring the apparently contrasting discourses on the relationship among the rule of law, law and order, and social movements in Hong Kong, the contributors emphasise the need to re-examine the conventional juxtaposition of the law and civil unrest.
