- Abstract : The focus of this article is on Government-Business Relations (GBR) in Hong Kong after the handover of sovereignty to China in 1997. The subject matter of GBR is concerned with the whole range of interactions between the government in its many manifestations, on the one hand, and business or industry, in all its complexity, on the other. (Wilks & Wright, 1987) This article attempts to posit for Hong Kong a triple model of GBR, namely the corporatist, pluralist and consultative dimensions of institutional interactions in interest intermediation and policy concertation. The former two modes represent a group level interaction between government and functional/corporate and preference/political associations respectively; whilst the consultative mode involves a personal level interaction with the administration of individual businessmen. Paragraph Headings: 1. The corporatist dimension 2. The pluralist dimension 3. The consultative dimension 4. Conclusion Tables: 1. Composition of some of the business functional constituencies 2. The political orientations of Legco members returened by functional constituencies 3. The distribution of the pro-business, independent, pro-establishment and anti-business Legco members returned by functional constituencies 4.
