China's sports history and its contemporary role in the global
sporting community have become well-known, but the sporting history
and development of China's two Special Administrative Regions -
Hong Kong and Macau - have not received the coverage they deserve
either in their historical contexts or since the handovers of
control to the People's Republic. By drawing on a multi-national
group of scholars and practitioners, this volume makes a unique
contribution to the understanding of sports development in greater
China. The essays in this anthology examine the evolution of key
sports, the hosting of sporting mega-events, the nexus of sports
and politics, identity issues, and the role of sporting diplomacy.
The chapters provide not only an analysis of colonial legacies but
also in-depth accounts of the challenges to and outcomes of sports
development in Hong Kong after 1997 and Macau after 1999. The
chapters in this book were originally published in various special
issues of The International Journal of the History of Sport.
