No.: 2609 8584/8589 New Publications of HKIAPS The Colonial State and Rural Protests in Hong Kong Occasional Paper No. 59 From 1899 to the 1970s, the attitude of the rural residents of the New Territories towards the colonial government underwent a dramatic change from armed resistance to active support. In this paper written by Stephen W.K. Chiu and Hung Ho-fung, the change as well as the basis for political stability in the rural areas of Hong Kong are examined, with the aim of throwing light on broader issues of colonial governance in Hong Kong, and the relationship between state and society under British colonialism. The discussion is divided into four parts. The first looks at the New Territories prior to colonial rule; the second looks at the establishment of colonial governance over the area before the outbreak of the Pacific War; the third discusses the rapid socio-economic transformation of the New Territories in the post-war period; and the fourth illustrates various arguments with actual cases. Five Decades of Urbanization in Southeast Asia—A Personal Encounter Occasional Paper No. 60 This paper presents the personal experience of the author, T.G. McGee, who has studied southeast Asian urbanization since he arrived in the region in 1958. The changing patterns and features of urbanization are organized by decade since the 1950s, and in each, the author tries to capture a central process which dominated urbanization. In the 50s, the instability of political devolution from colonialism fuelled a 'pseudo-urbanization' process. The 60s saw attempts to put economic plans in place, the uneven success of which encouraged diversity in urbanization. By the 70s, all the countries that were not part of the socialist block were experiencing integration into the global system, growing rates of urbanization, and economic growth. The process deepened in the 80s as the previously socialist countries became more marketized. The paper ends by a discussion of the likely future of the patterns of southeast Asian urbanization. Withering Away of the Hong Kong Dream — Women Workers under Industrial Restructuring Occasional Paper No. 61 In the last decade, the Hong Kong economy experienced a rapid restructuring which is marked by a shrinking industrial sector. The paper is based on a survey conducted in 1995 by the authors, Stephen W.K. Chiu and Lee Ching-kwan, on how this industrial restructuring has affected women workers in manufacturing industries. They carried out a telephone survey to find out changes in the employment status of 1,004 workers, of whom 505 were female, during the five years before 1995. In-depth interviews were subsequently conducted with 40 women subjects. The findings suggest that when the Hong Kong economic structure is in flux, employment status becomes fluid —many respondents move in and out of different employments frequently. Economic restructuring consequent upon the increasing integration of Hong Kong and mainland economies, however, affects the quality of their workplace experience and family life, as well as their sense of self-worth. At the time of the survey, the women were either unemployed or employed informally, or holding service jobs that pay less than their former manufacturing jobs. At home, they were more dependent on their husbands and were forced to resume the domestic roles of housewife and mother. As gender inequality at home and at work are reinforced, gender roles are once again rigidified. Social Conflicts in Hong Kong— 1 9 8 7 - 1 9 95 Occasional Paper No. 62 Written by Lau Siu-kai and Wan Po-san, the paper attempts to inventory the social conflicts in Hong Kong between 1st January 1987 and 31st December 1995. A total of 3,661 events were recorded, most of which were of short duration and initiated by named groups. They engaged neither allies nor antagonist parties and were l imi t ed in terms of the number of participants. The majority of actions were decorous 一 violence was very rare 一 and bounded by mutually-agreed-upon principles. Most social conflicts involved the state, and citizenship was an accepted basis for making claims on the government. The study also shows that the social base of collective contention became broader and more heterogeneous in the past decade. Events involving political group members experienced a steady increase since 1990. The five most frequent conflict issues were labour, housing, transport, civil rights, and politics. These papers are written in English with Chinese abstracts, and sold at HK$30 per copy.
