Routledge Handbook of Contemporary Hong KongWhen 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.

The 2003 mass rally on 1st July, with half a million people marching on the street to protest against the government on the anniversary of the establishment of the SAR, shocked Beijing. It was triggered by controversies over the Article ...
