Hong Kong's Transitions, 1842-1997 by Judith Margaret Brown,Rosemary Foot Pdf

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.

Hong Kong's Tortuous Democratization by Ming Sing Pdf

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.

Hong Kong in Transition by Robert Ash,Peter Ferdinand,Brian Hook,Robin Porter Pdf

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.

A Modern History of Hong Kong by Steve Tsang Pdf

This major history of Hong Kong tells the remarkable story of how a cluster of remote fishing villages grew into an icon of capitalism. The story began in 1842 with the founding of the Crown Colony after the First Anglo-Chinese war - the original 'Opium War'. As premier power in Europe and an expansionist empire, Britain first created in Hong Kong a major naval station and the principal base to open the Celestial Chinese Empire to trade. Working in parallel with the locals, the British built it up to become a focus for investment in the region and an international centre with global shipping, banking and financial interests. Yet by far the most momentous change in the history of this prosperous, capitalist colony was its return in 1997 to 'Mother China', the most powerful Communist state in the world.
