"This book examines the origin and evolution of Hong Kong's political system, analyses the current contradictions in the system and discusses how the system might develop in future. It focuses in particular on the office of the Chief Executive in the context of Hong Kong's transformation from a British colony to a Special Administrative Region in China. The dualistic structure of the Chief Executive's office embodies a dilemma between two competing imperatives - communist China's imperative to retain a colonial political system where executive power is concentrated at the top, and the need to accommodate new, increasing demands for democratic representation within the territory."
