CV

Charles Fung received his Master of Philosophy in Government and Public Administration at The Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research interests include state (trans)formation, fiscal politics, identity-making, geopolitics, and governance, focusing on how these processes unfold in the context of colonial/imperial rule. What connects all these research interests is the concern of understanding how the exercise of state power (effectively or otherwise) and bottom-up resistances in the past co-created the present circumstances. In short, he is inclined to approach puzzling phenomena from the historical-sociological lens with archival and comparative-historical methods.
