Governance and Citizenship in Asia Series editors Kerry J Kennedy, Centre for Governance and Citizenship, The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Yan Wing Leung, Centre for Governance and Citizenship, The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong Sonny Shiu Hing Lo, Centre for Governance and Citizenship, The Education University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, Hong Kong

Aims and Scope This series explores how citizenship is shaped by social, political, cultural and historical contexts and how it may be moulded to serve the nation state in the age of globalization. In these publications we see how governance relates to all aspects of civic life, including politics, public policy, administration, civil society and the economy, as well as the core values of society. Titles cover themes including public trust and trust building, the role of civil society, citizens’ rights and obligations, citizenship identities including those related to gender, class and ethnicities. Authors explore how young people are shaped by democratic and traditional value systems and the importance of citizenship challenges in the Asia Pacific region. Research collaborations in this interdisciplinary series probe questions such as: What are the links between ‘good governance’ and new forms of citizenship? What is the role of citizenship education as a tool in state formation and the ­development of active citizenship cultures? How do we explain the distinctive features of ­governance and citizenship in Asian societies? Through these publications we see that citizenship is an integral part of ‘good governance’ and that such governance ultimately enriches citizenship. Scholarly investigation and academic dialogue in this series describe the interdependence and mutuality of governance and citizenship.
