Notably, the text uses the terms “Occupy Central Campaign”, “Occupation Campaign”, and the “Umbrella Movement”. The “Occupy Central Campaign” was the name used by Benny Tai and his political group during the planning stages of the movement and early deliberations. When the actual campaign was launched, the occupation primarily occurred in Admiralty, Mong Kok, and Causeway Bay. Thus, the more general term “Occupation Campaign” was used. Media photos during the campaign gave rise to the term “Umbrella Movement”, referring to the many groups that emerged after the campaign was launched as well as their activities, ideas, and demands. In some regards, the terms are interchangeable, but do, in fact, refer to particular aspects or events during the campaign. As these terms are often confused, they require clarification.
I am most grateful to the City University of Hong Kong Press for inviting this assessment of the C. Y. Leung administration and for me to act as its editor. This book, together with The Hong Kong Special Administration Region in Its First Decade (published in 2007) and Evaluating the Tsang Years 2005–2012 (published in 2013), which I also edited, contribute to a better understanding of the developments in the territory in the first two decades post-handover. Academic discourse between experts of diverse fields will undoubtedly leave an imprint on Hong Kong’s history, and I am proud to be a part of these endeavours.
I realise I may not be able to repeat a similar analysis of the Carrie Lam administration, depending on whether she seeks to serve more than one term. I would, therefore, like to take this opportunity to thank all the contributors in this and previous publications for their support, cooperation, tolerance, and valuable contributions. Thanks are also due to City University of Hong Kong Press for their expertise and professionalism throughout the publication process.

“Did C. Y. Leung achieve his goals? Did he perform his duty to the Hong Kong people as their third Chief Executive?”
To answer these questions, this book presents a rational, research-based critique of the C. Y. Leung Administration (2012 - 2017). It is a sweeping and original publication that covers various aspects of governance, including politics, economics, healthcare, human rights, civil service, housing, urban planning, youth, and Legislative Council elections as well as Hong Kong’s relationships with Taiwan, Mainland China, and Western countries. Written by a team of expert authors from various fields, this book is one of the first comprehensive academic discourses on the issues this administration faced while in office.
The first chapter sets the tone of the book, with the subsequent chapters providing additional details confirming the general conclusions of the authors concerning the C. Y. Leung Administration. Written for scholars and community members interested in Hong Kong governance, this anthology presents a complex and comprehensive critique of one specific Chief Executive’s period of influence and how his administration’s policies still affect the Hong Kong community today.
