A total of 3,385 social conflict events have been recorded. Most of the recorded social conflicts were of short duration; initiated by named associations; engaged neither allies nor antagonistic parties; had a limited number of participants; and involved the government, either as an object of claim, a party to conflict against, or an arbitrator of conflicts. The majority of conflict actions were peaceful and bounded by mutually agreed-upon principles. Outbreaks of violence were extremely rare and governmental repression self-controlled. The past several years have seen an expanding zone of conflicts and the social base of collective contention has become broader and more heterogeneous. Yet, production workers, people w i th a political party affiliation and students tended to be involved more often in collective action. ' C i v i l r i g h ts and l i b e r t i e s ', 'labour and employment', 'housing', ' c u l t u re and r e l i g i o n ', 'economics' and 'politics and government' were the six most frequent issues leading to c o n f l i c t. The m a j o r i ty o f the c o n f l i ct e v e n ts w e r e a i m e d at p r o t e s t i ng against some specific objects or to demand something or some changes. It was more likely for labour-related, political and housing issues to make use of persuasive action, while issues concerning civil rights were more inclined to lead to protest actions.

In an attempt to explain the antecedents to the acquisition and consolidation of democratic values, findings on people's assessment of democracy in the governmental system, their sense of empowerment and their perceptions of the responsiveness of the system, their perceptions of the performance of democracy, and their trust in institutions are also examined. Finally, the paper gives an account of Hong Kong people's perceptions of the prospects for democracy in Hong Kong. For the people of Hong Kong, democracy embodies the political values they treasure. They are attached to liberal values and are making strong demands on the government to guarantee social equality and justice, and to be min-ben. However, their commitment to democracy is ambivalent. Some may not find democracy always suitable and preferable due to their concerns about possible conflicts among democratization, economic development and efficiency in governance. This study also uncovers an enormous sense of political powerlessness and frustration among the people.
