Biography
Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo is Professor and Deputy Director in the School of Professional and Continuing Education at the University of Hong Kong.
‘Interest Groups and the New Democracy Movement in Hong Kong, a highly original volume edited by Sonny Shiu-Hing Lo of Hong Kong University, constitutes a compelling contribution to this literature [on Hong Kong after the Umbrella Movement]. The book is comprised of a series of case study chapters, each focusing on a distinctive form of pressure group activity and social mobilization.’ - Luke Cooper, Senior Lecturer, Anglia Ruskin University, United Kingdom
