Eventually, when regulations proved successful in Hong Kong and the institutional uncertainties were reduced or eliminated, citylevel policy evolved into a Chinese regulatory regime involving various national-level government agencies. This approach could prevent policy errors and increase political acceptability by gradually escalating the intensity and scope of policy collaboration (see the typology in Magerum (2008)). Fostering an inclusive collaborative policy framework with more diverse and balanced views In the case of shipping emissions regulations, despite the active participation of scientists and civil society, the shipping industry was still the most critical stakeholder, exerting considerable influence on the policymaking process. To maximize the welfare of a wider spectrum of interest groups, an inclusive policy framework with a more influential civil society is crucial.
