About CGC
The Centre for Governance and Citizenship (CGC) is an Institute-level research centre of the Hong Kong Institute of Education. The Centre is committed to conducting interdisciplinary scholarly research and facilitating public discourse on governance issues and citizenship studies, including citizenship education. It is dedicated to creating an active research platform whereby the themes of Governance and Citizenship can be brought together within an interactive and mutually reinforcing framework to pioneer a new research agenda that contributes towards theory building in "Governance and Citizenship" as a holistic concept.
In December 2008, Dr Tam Wah Ching has generously donated HK$2.5 million to the Hong Kong Institute of Education in the form of "Wah Ching Education and Research Development Fund", to support activities of the Centre.
The Centre promotes interdisciplinary dialogue; facilitates intellectual debate and public discourse; and builds regional and international research networks. It aims to contribute towards quality academic output, to be disseminated both locally and internationally, via academic and curriculum publications, as well as the public media. Its research outputs help to inform curriculum and pedagogy design and thus learning improvements in schools. The Centre is active in developing partnership with other research bodies, the education community, and civil society organizations.
Call for Book Proposals
New Book Series on Governance and Citizenship in Asia
(CGC, HKIEd and Springer)
Governance, with its focus on state and statesociety interfaces, remains a fundamental issue in Asia but it is not an issue that that can be treated in isolation. Citizenship issues must also be addressed as civil society assumes a more fundamental role internationally in shaping how governments respond to public policy issues. This Series will address both governance and citizenship issues in such a way that citizenship is seen as an integral part of ‘good governance’ and governance as ultimately enriching citizenship. It is the interdependence and mutuality of governance and citizenship that is our key concern.
