This course provides an introduction to Hong Kong by concentrating on different remarkable features and interconnected issues in the territory at different arenas from different sociological perspectives. In particular, it covers: the colonial legacies, the demographic changes, the dynamics of governance, the different rounds of economic restructurings and their impacts upon local livelihood, the subject matters in urban ecology and social reproduction, and the consequential contestations among different cultures and identities. The ultimate aim of this course is not to present more facts or data but instead promotes more analytical perspectives and reflexive insights for the discussion of Hong Kong .
