    Squaring the Welfare Circle in Hong Kong: Lessons for Governance in Social Policy
    in Asian Survey , Volume 48 Number 2 March/April ,  2008 ,  323–342
    This article examines how the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government squares the welfare circle. Because of the constrained institutional pathway of the established welfare system, the government is not successful in either reducing public expenditures or raising taxes. The article argues that it is important to look into the role of institutional design in the management of public expectations.
