Gaming, Governance, and Public Policy in Macao

'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, Professor of Political Science at the University of Macau and IIAS Professor of Asian History at Erasmus University Rotterdam.
