In this biography of Sir Y. K. Pao (1918-1991), Anna Pao Sohmen recounts the pivotal role played by her father at a key historical juncture. By the mid-1970s, Sir Y. K. Pao has become the world's largest private shipowner. His shipping company diversified into property, hotels, retail, media, telecommunications, airlines and banking - a hugely influential business empire. Besides being a successful businessman, Pao also became an unofficial Chinese ambassador at large, forging a strong relationship with the architect of China's reform, Deng Xiaoping, at the dawn of China's economic transformat

Sir Alexander Grantham was Governor of Hong Kong from 1947 to 1957, one of the most dramatic decades in the city's history. This was a time of rapid reconstruction after World War II and growing prosperity. But civil war and revolution in China posed new challenges to the precarious British colony and tested Grantham's skills as a diplomat. In this lively memoir, first published in 1965, Grantham describes his thirty-five years in the British colonial service, which began in Hong Kong with a government cadetship in the 1920s and ended here in 1957. A new introduction by Lord Wilson of Tillyorn, Governor of Hong Kong from 1987 to 1992, reflects on Grantham's contributions to Hong Kong. Sir Alexander Grantham became Governor of Hong Kong in 1947 and served until 1957. His term of office saw rapid reconstruction and growing prosperity after World War II. Civil war and revolution in China drove hundreds of thousands of refugees into the British colony, while tense relations between Britain and the new People's Republic gave rise to difficult and potentially explosive incidents in Hong Kong. Plans for democratic reform were quietly dropped as Grantham instead crafted an authoritarian form of government that combined strong leadership with gradual social reform - a system that lasted almost to the end of colonial rule. In this elegant memoir, first published by the Hong Kong University Press in 1965, Grantham describes his thirty-five years in the British colonial service, which began in Hong Kong in 1922 and ended here in 1957; he also held senior positions in Bermuda, Jamaica, Nigeria and the South Pacific. Only a few of Hong Kong's former governors have published anything about their terms of office here, but Grantham's stands out as the most interesting and substantial. Via Ports is an important first-hand account of the workings of Britain's

Hong Kong and its relationship with China make for a uniquely intriguing study in democratization. What has hindered or caused greater popular sovereignty in Hong Kong? Over what time period and under what conditions could further democratization occur? Addressing these questions through the lens of comparative democratization theories, Lynn White explores Hong Kong's complicated politics—and how further democratization in Hong Kong could affect China

Nach der Kapitulation Japans 1945 zählte Hongkong 600.000 an der Armutsgrenze lebende Einwohner. 1990 weist die Statistik für eine zehnmal so große Bevölkerung einen durchschnittlichen Lebensstandard aus, der mit dem der südlichen EG-Mitgliedsländer vergleichbar ist und voraussichtlich demnächst höher als der Lebensstandard in Großbritannien liegen wird. Wilson, Korrespondent der "Financial Times" und Herausgeber von "China Quarterly" und "Far Eastern Economic Review", versucht in seiner Arbeit die Faktoren für Hongkongs Wirtschaftserfolg zu definieren. Ein abschließendes Kapitel beschäftigt sich mit den Zukunftsaussichten Hongkongs nach dessen Rückkehr unter die Oberhoheit Chinas im Jahre 1997. (Österreich. Forschungsstiftung f. Entwicklungshilfe)
