The End of "Made in Hong Kong"? : De-industrialisation and Industrial Promotion Policy in Hong Kong
No full textThis article explores spatial aspects of Hong Kong's deindustrialisation, related both to the development of closer cross-border ties and to Hong Kong's evolution as a global city. Industrial promotion has always had its place in the generally non-interventionist economic policy ofthe government. However, under the new political and economical conditions industrial promotion has moved up on the agenda. In particular, the promotion of high-tech industries is given special governmental attention. The author wams that the plans for re-industrialising Hong Kong may be based on an obsolete view of the city: the city as an isolated entity rather than as the cross-border economic agglomeration that it is growing into. The aim should be to develop a strong and productive industrial base with intraregional co-operation for the whole agglomeration instead of just for Hong Kong

Assessment of Self-Archiving in Institutional Repositories: Depositorship and Full-Text Availability
No full textThis research evaluates the success of open access self-archiving in several well-known institutional repositories. Two assessment factors have been applied to examine the current practice of self-archiving: depositorship and the availability of full text. This research discovers that the rate of author self-archiving is low and that the majority of documents have been deposited by a librarian or administrative staff. Similarly, the rate of full-text availability is relatively low, except for Australian repositories. By identifying different practices of self-archiving, repository managers can create new strategies for the operation of their repositories and the development of archiving policies
Culture of indifference : dilemmas of the Filipina domestic helpers in Hong Kong
No full textIn this study, an examination of the everyday experiences of the contract migrant Filipina domestic helpers exposes a culture of indifference which pervades the Hong Kong society on all levels--individual, community, and judiciary. At the centre of the abuses inflicted upon the Helpers is the employment contract with extraordinarily restrictive terms which promotes abuse by many employers. This study also looks at the transnational informal social infrastructure which has been organized by the Filipino community to mediate the hostile working environment engendered by the indifference of the global economic and political climate upon their lives.
Faced with the task of implementing new policies for controlling labour migration into Hong Kong, the legislators have focused on the end result and finding the means with which to accomplish their goal. Embedded within this process are unexamined cultural mores and practices. Although the starting point is to benefit the community, by providing domestic helpers to serve the middle and upper class households, too often the abusive consequences to individual migrants are ignored as the women become the means to an end. Migration has often been viewed as an aberration to the notion of the sedentary community. Treated as an anomaly, it is the migrant who problematizes simple theoretical positions of social organization and structure. The migrant is always treated as the one who does not conform to the ideal community and is conveniently merged into existing social categories, such as the lower status of women in Hong Kong, and the lower status of domestic workers -- relegated thereby to the periphery of the society's consciousness
Less is More? Different Regulatory Responses to Crowdfunding and Why the Hong Kong Model Stacks Up Well
No full textThis article debunks the myth that securities regulation in Hong Kong is less accommodating to crowdfunding (CF) activities when compared to regulation in other international financial centres. While the Securities and Futures Commission has been less proactive in responding to calls for lighter regulation on CF, this article shows that Hong Kong’s existing securities regulation does not lag behind in providing gateways for CF activities. Among the gateways available, while the small-size offering exemption threshold is lower than those provided in other jurisdictions such as the United Kingdom or Singapore, when it comes to raising capital from accredited investors — the type of investors most coveted by entrepreneurs and start-ups — the Hong Kong regime is more friendly. In fact, it is arguably broadly on the same page as the accredited investor exemption regime in the United States. This article examines how the key exemptions to securities regulation in Hong Kong can be fully utilised in the context of CF, especially after the recent Court of Final Appeal decision in Securities and Futures Commission v Pacific Sun Advisors Ltd. As it appears that the market has not fully grasped the purport of Pacific Sun, this article attempts to untangle the regulatory thicket. Hopefully, small and emerging companies will see the potentials of Hong Kong as a platform for capital raising via the Internet
