Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher description: China's economic rise has captured the world's imagination. At the forefront has been the Greater Pearl River Delta, a region consisting of Hong Kong, Macao, and part of Guangdong Province, whose unique and complex complementarities have created a regional powerhouse of global importance. The authors show how the Greater Pearl River Delta region has benefited from China's economic opening by combining the international orientation, business experience, and financial muscle of Hong Kong and Macao with the land, labor, and skills of the Chinese Mainland. They show how this combination has created an increasing number of world beating industries that have attracted companies and business people from all around the globe. They show how China's accession into the WTO strengthens the region's position in the national and international economies. Finally, they show how the region's trajectory will lead it to even greater prominence in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

This book was released on 2001-06-12 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the world's population exceeds an incredible 6 billion people, governmentsâ€"and scientistsâ€"everywhere are concerned about the prospects for sustainable development. The science academies of the three most populous countries have joined forces in an unprecedented effort to understand the linkage between population growth and land-use change, and its implications for the future. By examining six sites ranging from agricultural to intensely urban to areas in transition, the multinational study panel asks how population growth and consumption directly cause land-use change, and explore the general nature of the forces driving the transformations. Growing Populations, Changing Landscapes explains how disparate government policies with unintended consequences and globalization effects that link local land-use changes to consumption patterns and labor policies in distant countries can be far more influential than simple numerical population increases. Recognizing the importance of these linkages can be a significant step toward more effective environmental management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the dramatic economic and spatial transformation in China's Pearl River Delta region over the past decade. Reforms introduced by the Chinese government since 1978 were the cause of this transformation. The Pearl River Delta has had the highest recorded rate of economic growth in East Asia and has done so through a pattern of development which differed significantly from that found in other regions of fast growth. George Lin reviews the processes by which this remarkable transformation was achieved and discusses the implications of such change. Red Capitalism in South China looks at theories of regional development and the patterns of spatial and economic restructuring in the Delta, and provides three case studies which focus on the transformation of the peasant economy, transport development, and the influence of Hong Kong.

Download or read book China's Pan-Pearl River Delta written by Anthony G. O. Yeh and published by Hong Kong University Press. This book was released on 2010-06-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cities and regions in Asia are facing problems that cannot be adequately managed by traditional urban planning. Competition and local protectionism have often hindered infrastructural development and regional integration. In southern China, an area embracing one-fifth of China and one-third of its population, the economies and societies of nine provinces, together with Hong Kong and Macao, face many barriers to regional collaboration. Fiscal regulatory conflicts, land and housing reform, and bottlenecks in immigration and transport have stymied efforts to develop infrastructure that could spur economic growth and greater prosperity for the entire region. This book examines regional integration and its barriers in southern China in a comparative framework using perspectives on development and globalization from Europe and North America. With its contributions from leading researchers and practitioners in the field, the book will appeal to students, academics and policymakers interested in urban and regional planning, geography, sociology, public administration and development studies.

"A timely and much-needed volume on a region of growing importance. Supported by helpful maps and charts, this collection discusses the theory, challenges, and practice of development in an area comprising nearly a third of China's population. The comparative framework, drawing on experiences from Europe and the United States, is particularly valuable." -- Linda McCarthy, co-author ofUrbanization: An Introduction to Urban Geography

This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The issues surrounding Hong Kong's global position and international links grow increasingly complex by the day as the process of Hong Kong's transformation from a British colony to a Chinese Special Administration Region unfolds. This volume addresses a number of questions relating to this process. How international is Hong Kong? What are its global and international dimensions? How important are these dimensions to its continued success? How will these dimensions change, especially beyond the sphere of economics? Is Hong Kong's internationalization, defined in terms of its willingness to embrace international values and its capacity to maintain its international presence, at risk? These questions are presented as they pertain to the changing situation; relations between mainland China, Taiwan and Hong Kong; the positions of Australia, Canada and the United States on Hong Kong; internalization of international legal values; Americanization vs. Asianization; linkages to the world through Guangdong; strategies to emigrate overseas, cultural internationalization; media internationalization and universities within the global economy.

Abstract: Abstract for dissertation entitled A Comparative Study of the Roles of Hong Kong and Shanghai in the Economic Integration of the Pearl River Delta and the Yangtze River Delta Submitted by Lai Yin Sheung for the degree of Master of Arts at the University of Hong Kong in June 2006 The implementation of the open door policy enabled China to reestablish contacts with the world. Selected coastal cities were able to engage in foreign trade and receive foreign investment. Under the force of globalization and the new international division of labor, China had achieved rapid economic growth since 1978. Today, China is nicknamed the world's factory. Its export-oriented manufacturing industries located in the Pearl River Delta (PRD) and the Yangtze River Delta (YRD) have contributed a major share of the global output in consumer electronics and apparels industries etc. The two delta regions are regarded as the growth engines of China although different development paths were traced. The development of the PRD is the result of spontaneous investment from foreign sources while the YRD is a designated project under state directives. However, each region has a core city to facilitate economic integration. Hong Kong, Asia's World city, is the core city of the PRD whereas Shanghai, host city of the World Expo 2010, is the dragonhead of the YRD. Apart from the long history of foreign interaction, Hong Kong and Shanghai have unique location advantages, entrepreneurial spirits, and other competitive advantages that out beat other cities in the regions as core cities. In fact, it is the competitive advantages of the core cities that play the key roles in fostering economic integration and cooperation in the delta regions such as being the source of capital, service hub, and transportation and communication center. The prospects of the two regions are rested on the local and international environments. The complexity of the 'One Country, Two Systems' arrangement and the multi-level administrations are believed to be the hindrance to effective implementation of cross-border projects of Hong Kong and the rest of the PRD cities in the Mainland. For the YRD, although Shanghai is the chosen dragonhead of the region and the development within the region is comparatively coordinated, conflicts between cities exist. The joining of the World Trade Organization means more liberal trade measures would be taken in China, however, regions and cities are exposed to fierce competition and unprecedented opportunities for cooperation under globalization.

Abstract: Abstract of Dissertation titled A Policy Review of Cross Boundary Water Resources Management between Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta submitted by Chung Yuen Ting, Vanessa for the Degree of Master of Arts at The University of Hong Kong in June 2003 Water is a highly flexible natural resource without any boundary constraints upon its utilization and contamination. When water bodies are commonly shared among different growing regions with separate units politically and administratively, conflicts would inevitably arise and it is necessary to call for cross boundary management among them. Hong Kong, after the return of sovereignty to mainland China, has been increasingly linked with the Pearl River Delta region in terms of social and economic development. Despite this increased connection, however, concerns on cross border environmental problems have never been addressed until the impact has become visible to the public. Dongjiang is one of the tributaries of the Pearl River which drains nearly 90% of the total area of Guangdong Province. With rapid industrial and urban growth, its water quality has remarkably deteriorated and this has made it very difficult to maintain it as the safest source of potable water for the population of Pearl River Delta and Hong Kong. In addition, the water use conflicts have become more prominent as the sectoral demand on Dongjiang becomes more diversified. Collaboration is the fundamental ground for both governments to implement cross border management; however, the existing institutional and legal frameworks have undermined the potential development. Detailed discussion will be given on examining what and how the current institutions and statutory regulations have been implemented to resolve the water use conflicts. The challenges and opportunities for the practicability of watershed management and cross boundary management as long term strategies in Dongjiang basin will be discussed too. It is foreseeable that a set of thorough and reform polices, sharing the same principle of cooperation on both sides of the border will be formulated to lead to tangible improvement of the water quality of Dongjiang. i DOI: 10.5353/th_b2677125 Subjects: Water resources development - China - Hong Kong Municipal water supply - China - Hong Kong Water quality management - China - Pearl River Delta Water transfer - China - Pearl River Delta

Download or read book The Politics of China–Hong Kong Relations written by Peter W Preston and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2016-04-29 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1997 the British state relinquished control of Hong Kong. From that point an established prosperous community was faced with reordering its sense of itself and its links with the wider world around the authority of Beijing. This book traces the political relationship between Hong Kong and China, and sketches a number of possible future scenarios ranging from successful mutual understanding, through to breakdown and the imposition of rule from Beijing. Having lived and worked in East Asia, Peter Preston brings a sympathetic outsider’s eye to the problems of Hong Kong and Beijing relations. He pursues four main issues: the manner of embedding a new political settlement, the business of governing the territory, the issue of democracy, and the likely future of the extant form of life. Students and scholars specialising in comparative politics, and international relations of East Asia will find this book to be of interest. It will also be of use to those addressing political conflict in that part of the world.
