PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Professor Michael C. Davis is in the Fall of 2020 a Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Hong Kong where he teaches core courses on international human rights. He is also currently a Global Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington DC, a Senior Research Scholar at the Weatherhead East Asia Institute at Columbia University and a Professor of Law and International Affairs at O.P. Jindal Global University in India (where he is in residence each spring). A professor in the Law Faculty at the University of Hong Kong until late 2016, he has held a number of distinguished visiting professorships, including the J. Landis Martin Visiting Professor of Human Rights Law at Northwestern University (2005-6), the Robert and Marion Short Visiting Professor of Human Rights at the University of Notre Dame (2004-5) and the Frederick K. Cox Visiting Professor of Law at Case Western Reserve University (2000). His scholarship engages a range of issues relating to human rights, the rule of law and constitutionalism in emerging states, with frequent publication in such widely read public affairs journals as Foreign Affairs and the Journal of Democracy, as well more mainstream academic journals. He has contributed commentary and analysis to such popular media as the Washington Post, the New York Times, Nikkei, Apple Daily, and South China Morning Post, the latter for which Amnesty International, the Hong Kong Journalists Association and the Hong Kong FCC awarded him a 2014 Human Rights Press Award for commentary.
Passionate and engaging book . -- Sreeram Chaulia * International Affairs * The tragic loss of Hong Kong’s freedom in 2020 was not a sudden coup, but the latest stage in a gradual extension of Chinese power through both legal and informal means. As a longtime Hong Kong resident, legal expert, and democracy activist, Davis expertly shows how it was done—and why it matters. -- Andrew J. Nathan, Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science, Columbia University, coauthor of <i>China’s Search for Security</i> Anyone who wants to know how Britain’s 1997 Hong Kong ‘handover’ under the innovative ‘One Country, Two Systems’ model became China’s ‘takeover’ of a vibrant city’s freedoms and rule of law must read this invaluable book. Davis, a dynamic scholar, Hong Kong law professor and public intellectual who has spent over three decades not only analyzing but also participating in this struggle between dictatorship and democracy, offers insights and perspectives that illuminate a major challenge to Beijing’s relations with the world. -- Jerome A. Cohen, Faculty Director Emeritus, US-Asia Law Institute, New York University; Adjunct Senior Fellow, Council on Foreign Relations Professor Davis revisits how Hong Kong’s liberal constitutional order mutated into a national security one in the twenty-plus years under Chinese sovereignty. It is a passionate narration of a tragic tale, a cool-headed analysis of the larger forces at play, and a hopeful glimpse of the plausible pathway toward the restoration of the liberal order that Hong Kong deserves. -- Ho-Fung Hung, Johns Hopkins University, author of <i>The China Boom: Why China Will Not Rule the World</i>
