Ortmann, Lau and Chan, together with the contributors provide an innovative assessment of the impact of the National Security Law on Hong Kong politics.

The book explores how Hong Kong's transformation in governance, law, education, and civil society has amounted to one of the most significant episodes of autocratization in the world in recent years.
