Chinese elitism and neoliberalism: post-colonial Hong Kong cultural policy development : a case study

Chinese elitism and neoliberalism were the fundamental mechanisms that governed and shaped Hong Kong during the British colonial rule. These mechanisms, however, remains not only active 15 years after the handover of Hong Kong to People's Republic of China in 1997 – their domination has been heightened, particularly in the domain of the city's cultural policy making.

This dissertation examines the key issues concerning the development of Hong Kong's post-colonial cultural policy under the frameworks of a renewed Chinese elitism and neoliberalism, to find out what kind of cultural policy does Hong Kong need and what cultural future is lying ahead of Hong Kong. / published_or_final_version / Literary and Cultural Studies / Master / Master of Arts
