How independent policy research is made possible by civic participation and collaboration in Hong Kong
abstract
Due to various reasons quality of governance in Hong Kong has deteriorated in recent years, offering limited help to, if not exacerbating, existing political and social problems. For instance, transparency in decision-making process in land, housing and social policies have become increasingly opaque, researchers and reformers encountered enormous difficulties as critical information to understand policy issues in many areas is close to non-existent. In view of this, Liber Research Community of Hong Kong in recent years attempted the avenue of collaborative research--in which everyone can be a researcher. By way of civic participation, critical policy information for rational policy discussion and policy campaign is reconstructed, with a view to augment social progress and reform.
一路從生態研究、社區駐點、獨立音樂行銷宣傳、音樂祭員工、小黨選舉公關,直到現在踏入自己沒想過會接觸的開源和開放科技領域,唯一沒變的是持續參與社會運動的決心,並且得以從不同領域不同角度進行串聯,但因為沒有經營單一領域或專長,只好自創我的專業是跨領域經理人,聽起來比較厲害。
