A recent study of scholarship on educational leadership and management in East Asia identified a rapidly growing corpus of published studies focusing on educational leadership and management in Hong Kong. This article undertakes a "topographical analysis" of this literature with the aim of describing the nature of topics and research methods employed over the past decade. The authors analyze the body of articles published in a "core" set of eight educational leadership and management journals between 1995 and 2012. The descriptive study offers insights into the nature of this emergent literature from a single non-Western society.
