Abstract

Portuguese and Macanese elites and masses in Macau retained a participant political culture after the Second World War. Prior to 1984, only a few Macau Chinese community leaders were political activists. Since then, however, Chinese elite have generally displayed a participant political culture. The author explores political participation in Macau during three periods: 1945-84, 1984-88 and since 1989 to the current transitional period. The Sino-Portuguese agreement on Macau's future is briefly discussed. (DÜI-Sen)
