This book is a comprehensive, scholarly account of Hong Kong Public
Budgeting, spanning from the pre-1997 British rule to the post-1997
Chinese rule. Transcending the existing comparative budgeting studies
which are either central-government focused or symmetric
local-government focused, this book presents Hong Kong Public Budgeting
as a distinctive case of territorial autonomy.
It offers historical and comparative analyses of Hong Kong Public
Budgeting, tracing the evolution of budgetary institutions and budgetary
decision-making and examining the critical issues of budget openness,
budget oversight, and budget allocation.
This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of
comparative budgeting studies. It will also be an excellent text for
public budgeting instructors and students in East Asia and Hong Kong.
