Abstract

This paper applies the concept of hegemony as a form of ideological
and cultural domination to understand the orientations and strategies
of the capitalist state and civil society actors participating in the
process of determining the medium of instruction for secondary schools
in Hong Kong between 1982 and 1994. During this period, language
policy making became a public arena in which the state and organised
civil society actors struggled to maintain or establish hegemony in
controlling and mediating the allocation of societal resources under
democratisation and changeover of sovereignty. As their hegemonic
struggles lacked any coordinated effort to cultivate a collective will
among the general public, ambivalence over the use of the mother
tongue versus English as the medium of instruction continued to haunt
practitioners.
Descriptors: Hegemony; ideological and cultural domination in language
policy making; the capitalist state; civil society; education and
democratisation
