Hong Kong: The Global City examines the developmental history of Hong Kong, focusing on its rise to the status of a Chinese global city in the world economy, and its social and political correlates between the 1970s to the 1990s. Chiu and Lui's analysis is distinct in its perspective of the development as an integrated process involving economic, political and social dimensions, and as such this insightful and originalnbsp;book isnbsp;a core text on Hong Kong society for students.
