The Sino-British dispute over Hong Kong: a game theory interpretation

Article Abstract:

Payoffs in the Sino-British negotiations over Hong Kong may be structured in a game called Chicken. The score depends on the number of times a player compromised and refused to yield to his opponent. Analyzing the talks between China and Great Britain on the decolonization of Hong Kong, China won sovereignty over the colony by maintaining its general principles. Britain, on the other hand, had gained support from the opposition and international community in installing democracy with the election of local representatives to Hong Kong's Legislative Council.

Rebureaucratization of politics in Hong Kong: prospects after 1997

Article Abstract:

The British administration in Hong Kong wielded an undisputed power until a call for decolonization by China began in the 1980s. It entered into a joint Sino-British declaration that formed a representative government in Hong Kong and converged with the Chinese government in drafting the Basic Law of its colony. Long before the 1997 handover, the British regime had managerialized the civil service of Hong Kong by instituting the Special Administrative Region.
