Hong Kong, la Chine et la démocratie

Stéphanie Balme Richard Balme
Analysing political changes in Hong Kong since the SARS crisis of 2003, this paper argues that a threefold transition process where political, economic and cultural factors reinforce each other, led to a governance crisis in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, severely undermining the position of the executive and leading to the replacement of the Chief Executive in July 2005. On one hand, political mobilisation increased in recent years, both in terms of electoral turnout and protest behaviour. On the other, the subsequent legislative elections in September 2004 revealed a clear popular disenchantment with political party organizations. Support for prodemocracy organisations also became more diffuse and somewhat critical toward the Democratic Party. Hong Kong’s transitional crisis is further complicated by tensions between the different constitutional cultures found in Hong Kong and the PRC. Hong Kong is having to find a way of legitimately resisting China’s political and legal encroachments without provoking mainland suspicions of “anti patriotism”.
