TY - JOUR TI - Hong Kong's Exercise of External Autonomy: a Multi-Faceted Appraisal AU - Mushkat, Roda PY - 2006 PB - Cambridge University Press (CUP) LA - eng AB - 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.
