Press Release: Online Journal Gives Unprecedented Access to Hong Kong Analysis
CONTACT: Jennifer Linker, +1 202/939-2372; jlinker@CarnegieEndowment.org
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: January 17, 2006
Working in partnership with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace China Program, Robert Keatley launched the premier issue of the new online quarterly, The Hong Kong Journal, on January 17, 2006. Published exclusively on the Web at www.hkjournal.org, the journal is free to all readers.
The journal will be devoted to political, economic, and social issues relating to Hong Kong and its relations with mainland China, the United States, and other governments and international organizations. Each online edition will consist of four to five analytical articles describing or analyzing subjects important to Hong Kong’s prosperity, governance, and relations with the outside world.
The goal of The Hong Kong Journal is to provide thoughtful analyses of major issues to people interested in events in this Special Administrative Region of China, including those concerned with other governments’ policies toward Hong Kong. Included will be discussions of its political development, economic growth, and social issues such as the environment, education, and welfare programs. Authors of the articles will come from a diversity of organizations in Hong Kong, the United States, China, and across the globe, representing a diversity of viewpoints. The publication itself, while welcoming various opinions, will advocate no central policy or political positions.
The initial edition’s contributors are: Christine Loh, CEO of Civic Exchange, a Hong Kong research organization; Frank Ching, a Hong Kong journalist; Michael DeGolyer, a professor at Hong Kong Baptist University; David Dodwell, a Hong Kong consultant; and Bates Gill and Chin-Hao Huang, both specialists on China at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington.
The Hong Kong Journal editor is Robert Keatley, formerly editor of The Asian Wall Street Journal, The Wall Street Journal Europe and the South China Morning Post of Hong Kong. Potential contributors can reach him at rkeatley@rcn.com.
