Macao was confronted with various issues concerning then existing political system, economic downturn and gangland violence during the transition period. Beijing put Macao under the One country, Two Systems and implemented a wide variety of measures in order to restore its law and order as well as to recover its tourism dependent economy. Gradually, Macao transformed itself to Las Vegas of the East . This volume of 18 essays highlights the key dimensions of Macao s remarkable One country, Two Systems actualisation experience in its first 15 years, and discusses how Macao transformed and what challenges it encountered during its post-handover transformation.The volume has several focuses. It first investigates the political and electoral issues in a critical manner-post-handover Macao suffered from maladministration and limited democratization, and the chief executives selected lacked representativeness due to restricted public participation in the electoral process. Overall speaking, the government lacked legitimacy and popular support. From a socio-economic point of view, this book looks into the business model in running Macao s casinos and the emerging culture of mass participation and youth participation in political affairs. The education reformation and changes in civic identity of local Macao Chinese are also addressed. Finally, the volume looks into how post-handover Macao relates itself in the international politics affair.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: HKContributor: Eilo W. Y.
