I totally agree of B.L. Cheung statement which he point out that the Hong Kong reforms were not motivated by the standard global claims about suppressing big government, improving efficiency or coping with fiscal crisis; they have been more linked to macro-political changes in the territory’s transition towards 1997 when a changeover in sovereign control.
However, I will to compare of the others authors included Eliza Lee and Donald Tsang who show that the slow economic and financial problem is the main impacts lead the Hong Kong reform. At lastly, I will to conclude all factors that linked of Hong Kong reform. Also, I will to sum up three of authors statement to support my views.
Reasons of HK Government Reform
As we know, public sector reform in most cases was adopted to combat socio-political or socio-economic problems. So, under the globalization effects, Hong Kong government also encountered similar economic problems, including slowing economies, difficulties in raising sufficient revenue to meet demands, pressure from global financial markets, Rising expectations for increased efficiency and cost cutting and Increasing size of the public sector. These problems lead the Hong Kong government decision to reform the public sectors in order to find greater efficiencies in delivering public services.
On the other hand, some authors said that the political change is the most factor affect the Hong Kong government to reform. Since 1980s, new public management becomes fashion theories that replace the traditional management, Hong Kong also to catching up the reform of the management. It was given a flexible and authority to the civil servants to make decision of political reform. Also, the writer point that Hong Kong has not any financial problem and under the economic theory people want is an accountably government rather than the efficient government.
