The Hong Kong-Guangdong Link: Partnership in Flux

by Reginald Yin-Wang Kwok, Alvin Y. So

Overview

This text focuses on the relationship of Hong Kong with the adjacent Chinese province Guangdong, the territories most directly involved in the 1997 transfer of Hong Kong to Chinese rule. The socio-economic, political and cultural impact of this crucial link and the implications for the future of both Hong Kong and China are studied. A multi-disciplinary approach is taken to examine the complexity of economic, political and cultural transformation of the Hong Kong-Guangdong link and this book presents a historical perspective to trace the long-term structural transformation. The dynamics of the integration process between the two territories is also explored.

Editorial Reviews

On July 1, 1997, Hong Kong will formally be returned to the People's Republic of China. The territories most directly involved in this transfer are Hong Kong and the adjacent Chinese province of Guandong. This volume examines the ongoing economic and sociocultural transformation of the Hong Kong-Guandong link. Between an introductory chapter (A Framework for Exploring the Hong Kong-Guandong Link) and a postscript (Mid-1992 Toward Mid-1994), nine chapters are organized within four sections: Hong Kong-Guandong link--a review; cultural transformation; economic restructuring; and partnership in flux.
