馬嶽教授Ngok Ma在最新一期《Journal of Contemporary Asia》發表研究文章，指出在功能組別的選舉制度下，1997年後的香港政府是一個「統合型政權」(Corporatist state)，充斥著各種界別分肥。

文章最有趣的地方，是統計了歷年施政報告和財政預算案辯論中，各立法會議員提出的訴求，發現功能組別議員的訴求，多涉及界別利益；直選議員的訴求，則主要環繞一般公眾。而歷年施政報告和財政預算中，近3成政策的得益對象，都是某一界別。

關心和研究香港政治的朋友，應該細讀這篇文章。

〈The Making of a Corporatist State in Hong Kong: The Road to Sectoral Intervention〉

Abstract
Extant Hong Kong studies have under-stated the corporatist nature of the Hong Kong state. From the 1980s, as part of its political strategy, the Chinese government had helped to build a corporatist state in Hong Kong that incorporated various sectoral elites, leading to a change in the role of the state after 1997. Through an empirical study of the behaviour of functional constituency legislators and policy outputs after 1997, this article shows that the functional constituencies as a corporatist structure introduced many sector-oriented demands. These sectoral representatives lobbied for favourable polices, increased representation for their sectors, and more state resources. This drove the post-1997 Hong Kong state to sectoral intervention, as resources were diverted to selected sectors, creating new legitimacy problems for the regime.

Key Words
Corporatism, Hong Kong politics, sectoral intervention, state, functional constituencies

【歐陸病夫：放棄治療的法國】（意譯）自1945年起，戴高樂身邊有一群民族主義者（Nationalists）、大政府信徒（Statists）及功能組別信徒（Corporatists）。他們戰後的拯救法國方案，就有如戰敗的德國和意大利。戰後法國的計劃經濟，像皇帝般的總統，以及那個各人有既定崗位和功能的和諧社會，跟資本主義越走越遠⋯⋯

In 1945, the inner circle around De Gaulle was nationalist, statist, and corporatist. Looking at how it fixed the way the country was to go in the post-war years, one must try not to forget that Hitler and Mussolini did not win the war but lost it. Post-war France was to break with capitalism, have a planned economy, a monarchic presidency, and a society with all its corporations and interest groups having their assigned places in a harmonious society.
