AB - Hong Kong has long enjoyed a vibrant civil society since English colonial rule, but Hong Kong has fallen short of developing full democracy after decolonization in 1997. This paper discusses the evolution of civil society movements in Hong Kong and its relations with participatory politics. It discusses the ideology, mobilization structures, internal dynamics,and relations with political society and the state of the civil society organizations (CSOs). It shows that the civil society is under multiple constraints from the state and faces own problems of organization and mobilization, weakening its impact on civil movement. The Civil Human Rights Front was effective as it allowed CSOs to mobilize their respective supporters with relatively low costs, with due respect to their individual differences. It was difficult for this organizational form to accumulate enough resources, experience or mutual trust to build a formidable movement. It also difficult to sustain a movement for institutional reform of Hong Kong’s political system.
