Guangdong, capitalizing on its traditional role as China's
gateway to the outside world and its proximity to Hong Kong and
Macau, has witnessed momentous and fundamental changes since 1978.
The province has raced ahead in rapid economic development and
physical transformation, reaping the largest dividends in China's
open policy and economic reforms. So rapidly has Guangdong
developed during the last decade that it has set for itself the
target of becoming another little dragon of Asia.
This volume addresses the processes, outcomes and meanings of
the rapidity of physical and socioeconomic transformation in
Guangdong across a wide spectrum of subjects. Undertaken almost
exclusively by academics in Hong Kong, this book-length study of
Guangdong is a major contribution in our quest for a better
understanding of China's modernization and development programmes
through its multifaceted experimentation in the southerly
province.
