An International Conference to Inaugurate a Global Regulatory Governance 2019 was held from 4 to 6 July at Cheng Yu Tung Building of CUHK. Co-hosted by the Department of Government and Public Administration and the Hong Kong Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies, the conference with the theme of ‘unpacking the complexity of regulatory governance in a globalising world’ received strong support from the European Consortium of Political Research (ECPR) Standing Group on the Regulatory Governance.

In the opening ceremony, CUHK Vice-Chancellor Prof. Rocky S. Tuan made an opening remark and Dr. Law Chi-kwong, Secretary for Labour and Welfare, gave a welcome speech. A keynote speech was delivered by Prof. Colin Scott, Convenor of ECPR Standing Group on Regulatory Governance. The three-day conference consisted of a Round Table on Governance & Think-tanks in Hong Kong, followed by eight parallel panel sessions and an editor’s forum to provide interaction with editors of leading academic journals.
