Hong Kong: Becoming a Chinese Global City

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 original book is a core text on Hong Kong society for students.

Stephen Chiu is Professor of Sociology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Tai-Lok Lui is Professor of Sociology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
