When Britain and China negotiated the future of Hong Kong in the
early 1980s, their primary concern was about maintaining the status
quo. The rise of China in the last thirty years, however, has
reshaped the Beijing-Hong Kong dynamic as new tensions and
divisions have emerged. Thus, post-1997 Hong Kong is a case about a
global city's democratic transition within an authoritarian state.
The Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Hong Kong introduces readers
to these key social, economic, and political developments. Bringing
together the work of leading researchers in the field, it focuses
on the process of transition from a British colony to a Special
Administrative Region under China's sovereign rule. Organized
thematically, the sections covered include: 'One Country, Two
Systems' in practice Governance in post-colonial Hong Kong Social
mobilization The changing social fabric of Hong Kong society
Socio-economic development and regional integration The future of
Hong Kong. This book provides a thorough introduction to Hong Kong
today. As such, it will be invaluable to students and scholars of
Hong Kong's politics, culture and society. It will also be of
interest to those studying Chinese political development and the
impact of China's rise more generally.
