The political cleavage in Hong Kong seen in recent years has affected the level of Legco’s autonomy in terms of leadership, rules, committee autonomy and control over the legislative agenda. Given the weakened autonomy of Legco and the decline of moderate forces in both the pro-Beijing and pro-democracy camps, the role of Legco as a collective actor of checks and balances against the executive branch has been weakened. This book will appeal to both academics and practitioners whose work involves the relationship between the legislature and the executive branch in the HKSAR.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"...the text is clear and well-structured, and the author supplies readers with a wealth of supporting detail and statistics...\"  -Roderick Munday, The Cambridge Law Journal","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53210653426007,"sku":"9789004277908","price":156.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/hong-kongs-legislature-under-chinas-sovereignty-1998-2013-9789004277908","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
