Download or read book Hong Kong s Transitions 1842 1997 written by Judith Margaret Brown and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 1997 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The reversion of Hong Kong to China on 1 July 1997 is an event of major historical significance. This volume examines this event from a long-term perspective against the background of earlier turning-points in Hong Kong's political, economic and social history. Some of the chapters concentrate on Britain's colonial role from 1842; others place the emphasis on China's policies towards the colony; while some essays focus on the experiences of the Hong Kong people themselves. Hong Kong's Transitions also explores Hong Kong's relations with China and Britain in this troubled last decade of colonial rule, analyses the territory's wider global connections, and offers a basis for assessing its possible future as a part of the Chinese state. The study is intended to appeal to specialists and non-specialists and offers a broad context for interpreting this particularly crucial stage in Hong Kong's history.

Download or read book Hong Kong s Tortuous Democratization written by Ming Sing and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book raises interesting questions about the process of democratization in Hong Kong. It asks why democracy has been so long delayed when Hong Kong's level of socio-economic development has become so high. It relates democratization in Hong Kong to wider studies of the democratization process elsewhere, and it supplements the received wisdom - that democracy was delayed because of colonial rule and by the opposition of China - with new thinking, for example, that its quasi-bureaucratic authoritarian political structure vested power in bureaucrats who refused to have top-down democratization; a politically weak civil society and a non-participant political culture that crippled bottom-up democratization; plus the division between pro-democratic civil society and political society.

Book excerpt: Hong Kong in Transition offers a perspective on the exceptional constitutional and administrative experiment that has been taking place in Hong Kong, based on a substantial period under Chinese rule. There have been both successes and failures, and a perceptible process of change which is important to document. The particular appeal of this volume lies in the fact that it combines a broad overview with detailed study of individual topics. It is multidisciplinary, and its chapters may be read as 'stand-alone' studies or taken as complementary parts of a whole snapshot of Hong Kong in this critical early period. The chapters are pitched at a level to make them accessible both to undergraduates and to the specialist. Contributors have been drawn from Hong Kong, Macau, the UK, the US, Australia and Germany, reflecting the international interest in the fate of Hong Kong.

Download or read book Global Hong Kong written by Cindy Wong and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-03 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global Hong Kong locates Hong Kong in the contemporary globalizing world. Hong Kong, as the authors argue, is an archetypal place, sitting at the intersection of East and West. It is also a major center for global capital flows and world trade. Moreover, in recent years, the island's global cultural power has become increasingly evident, as Hong Kong popular culture has spread to the West via a booming film industry. While looking at issues of postcoloniality, transnationalism and economic globalization, Wong and McDonogh focus on the new cultures and social formations of contemporary Hong Kong, as well as the transformation of the physical city itself. They also trace the new interconnections - economic, demographic, social and cultural - between Hong Kong and other parts of the worldthat have benn fostered by globalization. Books in this series look at how nations and regions across the world are navigating the tumultuous currents of globalization. Concise, descriptive, interdisciplinary, and theoretically informed, they serve as ideal introductions to the peoples and places of our increasingly globalized world.
