The 1980s started the era of limited district administration and political reforms in colonial Hong Kong. It was also from this time that we witnessed the emergence of territory-wide electoral politics in the colony. This talk will review and analyse these political developments, and the speaker, based on his working experience in the colonial government, will share his observations on these reforms and on the characteristics of colonial governance.

Chor-yung Cheung taught politics and public administration before his retirement at the City University of Hong Kong in July 2022. He is most interested in studying political theory and Hong Kong politics. Cheung believes that reading the classical works of political philosophy is one of the best ways to develop a more profound understanding of politics and the human condition. He was twice an Administrative Officer of the Hong Kong Government and had served in City & New Territories Administration, The Royal Hong Kong Police, Education and Manpower Branch and Radio Television Hong Kong. He was a journalist working in the BBC Chinese Service in London from 1987-1994. He is the author of the following academic books: The Quest for Civil Order: Politics, Rules and Individuality (Imprint Academic, 2007), The Poetic Character of Human Activity: Essays on the Thought of Michael Oakeshott (co-authored with Wendell John Coats, Jr., Lexington Books, 2012),《弗雷德里希•海耶克》(聯經，2018), and Hayek and Post-War Chinese Liberalism: Beyond the Enlightenment and National Salvation (Palgrave Macmillan, 2024).
