Source text - English Dear Participants,
It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the workshop “Singapore and Hong Kong: Comparative Perspective on the occasion of the 20th Anniversary of the Handover”, jointly organised by the Institute of Advanced Studies, NTU; the Nanyang Centre for Public Administration, NTU; and the Hong Kong Singapore Business Association.
Hong Kong and Singapore are port cities sharing similar backgrounds. Both are former colonies within the British empire whose strategic geographical locations enabled their development as major regional hubs and inevitable rivals in many sectors.
In the 21st century, both pursue innovation-driven growth, but their political environments are increasingly divergent. Hong Kong celebrates its 20th year as a Special Administrative Region in China in 2017, while Singapore marked 50 years of nationhood in 2015. In the international arena, Hong Kong has effectively become part of China whereas Singapore still carefully negotiates its way as an island state.
Experts have been invited to provide up-to-date insights on the post-colonial development of Singapore and Hong Kong at this workshop, with keynote speeches and a panel discussion that compare their development models in the political, economic and cultural domains. Leveraging on the comparative perspective, the workshop aims to map the prospects of these global metropolises and project their development in the next decade.
We thank all of you for participating in this workshop and hope you enjoy the discussion and analysis.
