Decolonising Hong Kong: Civil Society and Political Participation During the End of British Rule, 1982-97

有关香港非殖民化（1982-97）的现有文献主要从英国和中国政治参与者的角度看待这一时期。该项目将超越精英政治层面，分析公众舆论、公民社会参与者和商界领袖对香港非殖民化的影响。这个项目利用最近解密的档案、自传、访谈和即将丢失的资料来源，将重新定义政治权力的概念，并揭示公众如何在香港的未来寻求政治声音。

The existing literature on the decolonisation of Hong Kong (1982-97) has seen this period largely from the perspective of British and Chinese political actors. This project will go beyond the elite political level to analyse the impact of public opinion, civil society actors and business leaders upon Hong Kong's decolonisation. Using recently declassified archives, autobiographies, interviews and sources at imminent risk of being lost, this project will reconceptualise the notion of political power and uncover how the public sought a political voice in Hong Kong's future.
