Politicized Challenges, De-Politicized Responses:
Political Monitoring in China’s Transitions
Professor Hualing Fu, University of Hong Kong and Bok Visiting International Professor at Penn Law
Regime strategies for maintaining political control are evolving in contemporary China. The Chinese Communist Party faces increasingly politicized challenges today. The CCP’s response has been a paradigmatic shift in control strategy toward an apolitical, less ideological approach to managing politicized challenges. China’s efficiency-based strategy for control and new culture of control warrant critical examination.
Professor Fu’s research interest includes constitutional law and human rights, with a special focus on criminal justice system and media law in China. His recent work include National Security and Fundamental Freedoms: Hong Kong’s Article 23 Under Scrutiny (Hong Kong University Press, 2005) (co-edited with Carole Petersen and Simon Young) and The Struggle for Coherence: Constitutional Interpretation in Hong Kong (Palgrave Macmillan, 2008) (co-edited with Lison Harris and Simon Young). He teaches Corruption, Human Rights in China, and Legal Relations between Hong Kong and Mainland China.
