| Title | National Identity Formation in a Post-colonial Society: Comparative Case Studies in Hong Kong and Taiwan |
| Summary | National identity formed in a post-colonial society is believed to be never fixed and is every changing according to the environment and culture, because of the transfer of sovereignty which leads to a confusion in identity. This thesis argues that institutions and policies, to a certain extent, shape national identity formation. Furthermore, the process of identity formation in a post-colonial society provokes civil resistance and social movement. This thesis will test the hypotheses from the vertical level – political parties’ adoption and policy implementation and the horizontal level – interactions between general public in Hong Kong, Taiwan and mainland China. It shows that national identities in both Hong Kong and Taiwan are changing. |
