Abstract
This article aims to examine the changing relationship between bureaucrats and politicians and to explore the implications of their relationship for the politics of transition in Hong Kong. The dynamic relationship between politics and administration is reversing from the "bureaucratization of politics" to the greater separation of politics and administration. Mutual distrust tension, and an incongruence of values between the politicians and the bureaucrats characterize their relationship. This kind of incongruent relationship between bureaucrats and politicians would be detrimental to the maintenance of prosperity and the stability of Hong Kong during the political transition from a British colony to a Chinese Special Administrative Region.
