This is the first serious comparative study of two dynamic Asian
city-states that are emerging as key regional-indeed global-cities.
Providing both historical comparisons and analyses of contemporary
issues, the authors consider the patterns, strategies, and
consequences of industrial restructuring. They build their analysis
around the interrelationships of four institutional spheres: the
global economy, the state, the financial system, and the labor
market. This leads to a unique emphasis on the distinctiveness of
individual newly industrialized countries (NICs), as opposed to
much of the literature in the field, which tends to group these
Asian dragons together as a single, undifferentiated case. The book
addresses three basic sets of questions tied to industrial
restructuring in Hong Kong and Singapore: First, what are the basic
patterns of restructuring in the two economies? What corporate
strategies have manufacturers used to restructure their operations?
Are Hong Kong and Singapore diverging or utilizing the same
restructuring strategies? Second, how should the process of
restructuring in the two economies and the concomitant similarities
or divergencies be explained? Third, what are the consequences of
the restructuring process for the two economies? How are these
processes shaped by the shared histories of Hong Kong and Singapore
as colonial port cities, their current status as NICs "squeezed"
between industrialized western societies and the Third World, and
their role as important regional cities in East and Southeast Asia?
