In the process of Hong Kong's political transition to the Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China, various political forces have been generating impact on the curriculum changes. This paper aims to use the secondary History subject as a case study to demonstrate the implications and complications of curriculum changes in addition to analysing how politics and curriculum interact in the dialectical web of localism, nationalism and globalism. It is expected that it will shed light on the role played by History curriculum in helping pupils to develop local identity in national context while cultivating a sense of global citizenship.
在香港的政治過渡為中華人民共和國特別行政區的過程中，不同政治力量一直對課程的轉變產生影響。本文以中學歷史科為個案，展示課程轉變的含義與複雜性，並分析政治與課程如何在一個地方主義、國家主義和全球主義的辯証關係網絡中產生互相作用。作者期望本文能闡釋歷史課程如何能幫助學生在國家體系中發展本地身份認同而又同時培養世界公民的意識。
