【#香港研究推介】我剛在《現代中國》(Modern China)發表了期刊文章，回顧了主權移交後的 #中港關係。文章以 #一個國家兩種國族主義 為框架，指出2003年後北京以 #國家建構國族主義 (State building nationalism)為綱，在政治、經濟和意識形態各領域出擊，試圖將香港納入中央集權體制之下；但北京的全方位介入，卻激發了香港人對失去自治的擔憂，並匯聚成強調香港認同的 #邊陲國族主義(Peripheral nationalism)，帶動反對運動走向自治、自決或獨立。我在文中列舉大量實證數據，勾劃兩種國族主義之踫撞，包括我委託 香港大學民意研究計劃 (The Public Opinion Programme, The University of Hong Kong)進行而從未公開的調查，顯示6成受訪者認同 #香港自治備受威脅、而這6成受訪者中有一半表示會參與社會行動抵抗(總體受訪者三分之一)，頗能刻劃近年 #本土運動 的群眾動員基礎。
今年是 #主權移交20周年，此文章的最大價值，應該是向國際社會完整地展示，今日中港關係的真正面貌。請廣傳此文章給所有你認識的外地朋友，讓他們知道香港正在發生什麼事情。

〈One Country, Two Nationalisms: Center-Periphery Relations between Mainland China and Hong Kong, 1997–2016〉
Abstract
According to the Sino-British Joint Declaration and Basic Law, Hong Kong was to exercise a high degree of autonomy under the framework of “one country, two systems” after the British handover of its sovereignty to China in 1997. In the initial post-handover period, Beijing adopted a policy of nonintervention in Hong Kong, but the outbreak of the July 1, 2003 protest triggered a subsequent change of policy. Since then, Beijing has embarked on state-building nationalism, adopting incorporation strategies so as to subject Hong Kong to greater central control over the political, economic, and ideological arenas. Ironically, instead of successfully assimilating Hongkongese into one Chinese nation, Beijing’s incorporation strategies are leading to a rise of peripheral nationalism in the city-state and waves of counter-mobilization. This article analyzes mainland–Hong Kong relations on the eve of the twentieth anniversary of the handover and offers insights from an emerging case study that builds upon the nationalism literature.
