This book explores imperial power and the transnational encounters
of shipowners and merchants in the South China Sea from 1840 to
1930. With British Hong Kong and French Indochina on its northern
and western shores, the 'Asian Mediterranean' was for almost a
century a crucible of power and an axis of economic struggle for
coastal shipping companies from various nations. Merchant steamers
shipped cargoes and passengers between ports of the region. Hong
Kong, the global port city, and the colonial ports of Saigon and
Haiphong developed into major hubs for the flow of goods and
people, while Guangzhouwan survived as an almost forgotten outpost
of Indochina. While previous research in this field has largely
remained within the confines of colonial history, this book uses
the examples of French and German companies operating in the South
China Sea to demonstrate the extent to which transnational actors
and business networks interacted with imperial power and the
process of globalisation.
