1997年7月香港主权移交后，鉴于行政长官董建华在竞选时的豪言壮语，以及他对新加坡发展模式的众所周知的赞赏，人们一直在猜测他的新政府是否会带来一个更加干预主义的政府。本文从历史的角度考察了香港“国家”的演变，并认为在回归前夕，前殖民地政府已经是一个积极的国家，受到高度自觉的积累和合法化战略的推动，以应对1980年代和1990年代不断上升的社会，经济和政治需求。回归后出现的新因素，包括非殖民化综合症、《基本法》政治设计下的制度化社团主义、董建华政府因缺乏适当的选举授权而需要取得认受性和寻求表现，以及亚洲金融危机引发的严重外部危机影响，促使政府重新思考政策等，都进一步加强了国家干预的力量。旧的殖民干预主义是由官僚改良主义内在驱动的，而新的干预主义显然更容易受到体制、政治和经济条件变化中的外在力量的影响。
After the change of sovereignty in Hong Kong in July 1997, there has been much speculation as to whether the new administration of Chief Executive Tung Chee-hwa would bring about a more interventionist government, given his campaign rhetoric to adopt a strong leadership and his well-known admiration of the Singapore model of development. This article examines the evolution of the Hong Kong ‘state’ within an historical perspective and argues that by the eve of the handover the former colonial government was already an active state driven by highly conscious accumulation and legitimation strategies in response to the rising social, economic and political demands of the 1980s and 1990s. New factors emerging after the handover have further strengthened the forces of state intervention, including the decolonization syndrome, institutionalized corporatism under the Basic Law political design, the need to gain legitimacy and to seek performance by the Tung administration because of the lack of proper electoral mandate, and the impact of serious external crisis arising from the Asian financial crisis inducing rethinking of policies. Whereas the old colonial interventionism was endogenously driven by bureaucratic reformism, the new interventionism is clearly more subject to exogenous forces embedded in the changing institutional, political and economic conditions.
