Macao has undergone a remarkable transformation since the liberalisation of the gaming industry in 2002. In this book, scholars examine the effects of massive foreign investment, the problems of governance and the increasing public policy challenges in the context of rapid change and potential social instability.
This important volume provides an informative and comprehensive overview of governance and public policy in Macao. A major contribution is the link that is traced between the recent liberalisation of gaming policy and emerging challenges to social development, politics, and administration. Strong attention to the deeper historical background also enables contemporary problems to be understood within a perspective that stretches back well into the last century, before Macao's establishment as a special administrative region of China. Gaming, Governance and Public Policy in Macao will be a valuable reference for all students and researchers interested in post-1999 Macao. -- Tak-Wing Ngo, University of Macau
