政治參與和管治危機

...Giving Hong Kong people as much control over their own affairs as possible while ensuring certainty about Hong Kong's post-1997 future. "The reality," argues Leo Goodstadt (British economist based in Hong Kong), "was that , by the late 1990s, it was obvious that without an expansion of the public's participation in the process of government, the credibility of Hong Kong's political institutions could not be maintained and there would be a crisis of governability."
