“…The corollary, from a public choice standpoint, is that the latter may have "captured" the organizational units in question. Special interest resistance, which may fall short of capture, comes into play in other forms as well (Mushkat and Mushkat 2003;Mushkat and Mushkat 2005a). It may be possible to minimize the difficulties to which this apparently gives rise by opting for less threatening (to employees) forms of privatization (e.g., public-private partnerships) and redesigning key parts of the institutional architecture (e.g., establishing autonomous/"apolitical" regulatory bodies).…”

“…The corollary is that the phenomenon of "government failure" and potential responses thereto have begun to feature, in one form or another, more prominently in the policy literature than the inefficiencies/inequities that manifest themselves in the private marketplace and the public remedies assumed to be necessary to alleviate them (Scott and Burns 1988;Cheek-Milby 1995;Scott 2000;Lo 2002;Mushkat and Mushkat 2003;Mushkat and Mushkat 2004;Mushkat and Mushkat 2005a;Mushkat and Mushkat 2005b;Mushkat and Mushkat 2005c;Scott 2005). The latter have not receded completely into the background because Hong Kong is confronting a number of very serious environmental challenges.…”

The privatization idea may have lost some of its luster in recent years, but it remains relevant in today's socio-economic environment and is pursued consistently in industrialized and industrializing countries alike. Hong Kong has followed the general pattern in a manner reflecting its particular circumstances and its institutional modus operandi. The underlying logic may not appear highly compelling, from a short-term perspective, yet there are sound grounds for approaching the task positively, if viewed from a multi-year standpoint. Rather surprisingly, for such a quintessentially capitalist society, Hong Kong has not confronted the privatization challenge astutely on the political front and has handled it somewhat mechanically in managerial terms. The benefits to the community may have thus been more modest than one could legitimately expect, given the historical backdrop.

Since the resumption of China's sovereignty over Hong Kong in 1997, academic and policy interest in its unique status has largely subsided. This may be attributed to the fact that the issue has formally been settled and the absence of effective mechanisms for monitoring and enforcement of compliance with the bilateral accord underpinning the new legal order. The marginalization of the subject has arguably left an analytical vacuum as several dimensions of the post-1997 picture merit attention on the part of international lawyers. One topic that continues to be of both practical and theoretical importance—the unconstrained pursuit, within the ‘One Country, Two Systems’ framework, of key strategic goals in the external arena—is addressed in this paper.
