The course aims to examine and compare the constitutional settings and the socio-political environments that frame the practice of governance and public administration in the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and/or Macao. We explore the organizing governance and public administration principles that underpin the respective public sectors in the Chinese mainland, Taiwan, Hong Kong and/or Macao and critically assess their respective strengths and weaknesses. Students are expected to learn about the political and administrative challenges facing public governance in the Greater China Region in this course. Through a range of learning activities—including lectures, occasional guest talks delivered by professional public administrators, real-life cases studies, group discussions and presentations—students will be able to apply their knowledge to critically analyse the pertinent governance issues of public administration in Greater China and to draw lessons that could be learned by one jurisdiction in the Region from the good practices of another.
