This book outlines the major social and political changes in the
city of Macau during its first 20 years under the "One Country, Two
Systems" arrangement with Mainland China. Despite the long-standing
image of Macau as Asia's Las Vegas, it is a city that has changed a
great deal since its return to China. Equally, despite this return,
it retains a unique social, economic and political character,
distinct both from the Mainland of China and from its larger
neighbour, Hong Kong. The chapters in this book examine the detail
of this uniqueness from a range of perspectives, including the
gambling industry, police-society relations, media usage patterns
and protest movements. Analysing the state of affairs 20 years
after the city's return to China, they also attempt to anticipate
its future trajectory. This is a valuable guide for scholars of
Asian, and particularly Chinese, urban politics that will be of
interest to academics and students looking to better understand the
particularities of Macau.
