Commercial aviation took shape in Hong Kong as the city developed
into a powerful economy. Rather than accepting air travel as an
inevitability in the era of global mobility, John Wong argues that
Hong Kong's development into a regional and global airline hub was
not preordained. By underscoring the shifting process through which
this hub emerged, Hong Kong Takes Flight aims to describe
globalization and global networks in the making. Viewing the
globalization of the city through the prism of its airline
industry, Wong examines how policymakers and businesses asserted
themselves against international partners and competitors in a bid
to accrue socioeconomic benefits, negotiated their interests in
Hong Kong's economic success, and articulated their expressions of
modernity.
