呂大樂 Lui Tai-Lok, 《香港模式：從現在式到過去式》 [Hong Kong Model: From the Present Tense to the Past Tense], Hong Kong: 中華書局 [Chung Hwa Book Company], 2015

Hong Kong Model is an attempt to reflect upon Hong Kong’s socio-economic and political development in a new political environment after decolonisation. The region is facing new macro challenges arising from the role of state, new economic structures and growing social inequalities. This analysis of Hong Kong is also relevant to a critical re-examination of the East Asian development model.

簡介 : 「香港模式──從現在式到過去式」探討了香港在回歸後的社會經濟與政治發展。脫離殖民後的香港在一個全新的政治環境之中發展，面臨著從政府角色的轉變，新經濟結構的形成到社會不平等的加劇等多方面的挑戰。而關於香港發展的分析也與對東亞發展的重新審視息息相關。

For the author, Taiwan is his research subject, his hometown, and it is also where his hope is.

劉曉原 Xiaoyuan Liu, 《邊疆中國：二十世紀周邊暨民族關係史述》[Frontier China: 20th-century Peripheral and Interethnic Relations], Hong Kong: 中文大學出版社 [The Chinese University Press], 2016.

In Frontier China, Xiaoyuan Liu portrays the historical process of the formation of modern China’s territory and ethnicity through case studies of several frontier regions. He argues that China’s transformation into a modern national state since the First Opium War continues until now, and such transformation has profound influence on almost every aspect of the modernisation process of contemporary China.

簡介  :  從中國近現代領土屬性轉型的大視角出發，《邊疆中國》通過研究中國邊疆問題的典型個案，梳理出中國近代國際關係和國內政治的發展脈絡。劉曉原指出，鴉片戰爭以後，中國開始了邁向近現代民族國家的轉型與發展，這場近代轉型延續至今，並在中國現代化發展的各個層面都產生了千絲萬縷的影響。
